Exhibition graphics + Print-on-demand visitor guide

The RISD Museum approached Lucy with an open brief: help organize and disseminate to visitors the range of programming and personalities within its 2013 summer/fall exhibit on Providence-area contemporary art. Wall text and a printed catalog weren't appropriate for an exhibit containing 300 artists and 180 live performances over a four-month period. Many of the works being either original works or not works at all -- more like cameos, demonstrations or in-person conversations.

Our solutions can be seen in the images above: 3-D signage to anchor (pun intended) the 3 exhibit spaces scattered around the Museum, wall text and identity (anchor, dot icons, type treatments, color) to act as a system to connect those same galleries, and a print-on-demand browser-driven daily guide.

It was our own 4-month, 7 artist and one room effort. And it's up until November 3, 2013 at the RISD Museum.
