SORT LATER
Exhibition / Production / Project Management
Spring 2023
Sort Later Web2023 RISD Graphic Design Senior exhibition celebrates design as “...a form of sorting. The designer takes disparate elements and strings them together; remixed and recombined. Charged with the unending task of forging new connections, we have tediously aligned type to page, gathered content for books, and compiled assets for websites. While discursive, sorting becomes a way to retain control. It implies a tangible end to the process. So often, each design decision leads to some envisioned ‘end.”
Sort Later is about letting go of ideas of finality and instead celebrating the work in progress, the liminal, and the unanswered.
As part of the Project Management team, I oversaw the planning, organizing, and directing of the show, specifically in cataloguing and organizing work, printing labels, setting up the exhibition, collecting works, contacting artists, and producing and assembling printed materials.
