How do students critically address the time before, during, and after a work’s creation—and the different spaces in which it's represented?
Behind the graphic designer lies a body of work that is constantly in motion. Between the ideas and their visible forms lay countless iterations and possible trajectories. Beyond the completion of a project lies a new life of unintended contexts and re-presentations. Over time, common threads weave their way through multiple projects, formats, and mediums, ultimately defining a traceable body of work and mode of working. Looking closely at the elemental parts that orbit our practices as students at RISD, the 2015 GD Triennial examines how students position their work and their practice in relation to these conditions of plurality. Over the course of 10 days, all mediums are set into motion and positions are shifted, altering conventional approaches to the work.
