RISD Museum
Nature/Artifice: Contemporary Works from the Collection
Tuesday, September 1 - February 28, 2010

The relationship between nature and artifice, reality and fiction, is central to a selection of contemporary paintings, sculpture, and video in the Museum's collection. In some cases, natural materials- a lemon, thistles, or rocks, for example -are placed in artful arrangements or altered to extend their significance. Conversely, manufactured materials-ranging from audiotape to flip-flop sandals-may be configured to resemble natural phenomena such as a cascading waterfall or the Caribbean Sea. A number of the featured works were acquired recently and are being exhibited for the first time.
