Object Lessons

Curator Portfolio Object Lessons is an ongoing video series on the RISD Museum website that focuses on works in the collection and offers new perspectives. The launch of this series corresponded to the opening of a cross-curatorial project that reinterprets our European collection.

Out of Line

A drawing space for all Portfolio Out of Line is an open studio space that corresponded to the exhibition Lines of Thought: Drawing from Michelangelo to Now From the British Museum. Taking the form of a studio space with interactive wunderkammer elements, Out of Line incorporated plaster casts, geometric models, and natural-history specimens in which visitors could handle and use to create personal drawings. In addition to objects, the space offered daily video prompts, demonstrations, collaborations, and other creative experiments to encourage visitors to use drawing as a tool to imagine, discover, and explore.
