PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Most art exhibits tend to go in for things of beauty. But if you’re looking for a show that’s all about pushing the envelope and thinking outside the box, then check out what RISD’s graduating MFA students are up to, in a show at the Rhode Island Convention Center.
That’s not to say this show doesn’t have its share of beautiful objects, it’s just that most have an unexpected twist, if not a touch of the outrageous. Take Jisoo Lee’s metal baseball cap topped with globes of braided metal and delicate silver flowers attached with springs.
