Convening: Raid the Icebox Now

RISD Museum, John W. Smith, Dominic Molon, Fred Wilson, and Ingrid Schaffner

The RISD Museum launched its multi-year Raid the Icebox Now exhibition project with a convening of participating artists and curators on June 20, 2018.

Museum Deputy Director of Exhibitions, Education and Programs Sara Ganz Blythe helped to organize a mini-symposium on June 20 assessing the legacy of the original Warhol show. Museum Director John Smith, Richard Brown Curator of Contemporary Art Dominic Molon, Carnegie International Curator Ingrid Schaffner and celebrated NYC artist Fred Wilson—also known for pushing curatorial boundaries—discussed how Raid the Icebox I has influenced museum exhibitions over the past 50 years, encouraging curators to question the dominant narrative and honor the voices of contemporary artists.

The project celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Museum's exhibition Raid the Icebox 1 with Andy Warhol, a landmark example of artist-curated museum exhibitions.
