There isn’t a single source for information about all that is happening at RISD on any given day...there are just too many things going on in too many places, planned and unplanned, to capture it all. But here is a sampling of the events for a typical few weeks. For more on-campus events, take a look at the “official” calendar.

Digital Media Lecture: Sal Randolph
Randolph lives in New York and produces independent art projects involving internet-mediated gift economies and social architectures. She is the founder of Opsound, an open sound exchange of copyleft music (opsound.org). Other recent projects include The Free Biennial (freebiennial.org) and Free Manifesta (freemanifesta.org), which brought together several hundred artists in open shows of free art in the public spaces of New York and Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Her work has been presented in public environments as well as in gallery and museum exhibitions including Manifesta 4, Palais de Tokyo, La Box in Bourges, Art Interactive and Pace Digital Gallery.

Unterberg is a New York-based photographer whose work is primarily color photographs taking the form of portraiture, human and animal, and most recently, total abstraction. Her work has encompassed video installation, book-form and large- and small-format color prints. She is represented by the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York and in 2004 had a mid- career retrospective at the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati, OH.
