Every three years, each department at RISD gets to curate and design a triennial exhibition. For the 2024 Graphic Design Triennial, our small team had just three weeks to do just that with work submitted by over 100 students.

Exhibition Design
Project overview
In an era dominated by visual communication and constant reproduction, Expiration Date considers the harmonious relationship between graphic design and temporality.
Challenges
Expiration Date explores the transient nature of graphic design by examining the relationship between designed objects in their original contexts and their transformation when removed from those contexts and displayed in an art gallery.
Results
By featuring photographs of works held by designers at their actual scale, it disrupts the boundary between the work’s original real-world context and its new, curated environment in the museum, creating a tension that both subverts and coexists with the nature of the gallery setting.
