"Raid the Database with Natalja Kent" is the first installment in an ongoing project in which artists bring new curatorial perspectives to the museum's extensive collections.
This fall the RISD Museum Lucy Truman Aldrich Porcelain Gallery reopened with its cabinets filled with engaging figures and a diverse array of tableware. Comprising nearly 180 objects from the museum's collection, this new installation focuses on the role that porcelain played in eighteenth-century life.
