What Pops

Exploring Pop Art through observation and art making

December 18, 2016 — RISD Museum

In the Fall season of 2016 the RISD Art Circle (RAC) members held a workshop so that people could learn more about pop art and not just look at art, but also to create it. This project gave people an outlet to express what they thought or how they felt through hands on experience, visual involvement in the RISD Museum, and the education of art history. RAC was committed to do the “What Pops” event to get people visiting the museum to creat and learn about certain art forms and concepts. RAC designated pop art to be the focus of the project since pop art conveys a message in an unconventional and convivial way.

Micah Salkind:

Working with the RISD RAC teens and affiliated artists allowed ACT and its partners to prototype new methods for working in the public realm. The experiences curated by the group brought sound artists, performance artists, and hands-on art-making into the project in innovative and exciting ways.

A U-haul van is parked by a park and some houses. A large banner with a brick pattern and three four-eyed lions hangs from the truck, and a big sign that says 'More that 0,000,000 artists processed' with replaceable numbers leans against the truck.

Because We’re Curious

Interactive installation in a weird hallway

May 2017 – February 2018, RISD Museum

This year was excited to radiate out from the Museum, but kept coming to the question: When people come to the museum, what will they find?
