Intercalary Art Event Website Online!

January 19, 2022

Jocelyne Prince, Katie Bullock, Sean Salstrom and Robert Horton’s multi venue Intercalary Art Event, opened only to be closed shortly after due to Covid pandemic restrictions. It was decided that an online version of the exhibition would be the best way to have the work seen.

RISD Museum‘s assistant director of graphic design Derek Schusterbauer, and Artist Online Presence and Archiving‘s UI expert, Don Goodes, teamed up to produce the bold and comprehensive website. Participating artist Katie Bullock’s original pencil drawings of maps and the three buildings where the exhibition’s works were hosted add to the site’s unique look and feel.

Video walk-thoughs were produced for two of the locations, the Ladd Observatory and the John Hay Library, and are available on the site pages. An essay by art theorist Tom Zummer entitled How to Do Words (with Things): Inference, Reference, and Difference in Aesthetic and Scientific Practices (a work in progress) rounds out the online exhibition’s offerings. As the title implies, Zummer posits a deep consideration of the exhibiting artists’ works in relation to the connections between scientific and aesthetic practices.
