After You're Gone: An Installation by Beth Lipman
Judith Tannenbaum and Beth Lipman
Exhibition Notes, Number 33, Fall 2008. In July 2006, RISD Museum director Hope Alswang and curator Judith Tannenbaum encountered Beth Lipman’s 2o-foot-long glass tableau entitled Bancketje (Banquet), then on exhibit at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. This tour de force, created in 2003 (now in the permanent collection of the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.), inspired The RISD Museum to invite the artist to visit its galleries, as well as collections in storage, in order to create an exhibition here. In October 2007, Lipman visited the Museum and was particularly excited by its American period rooms in Pendleton House and the decorative arts collections. She returned in March 2008 to work with students in RISD’s Glass Department. With their assistance in the hot shop, she produced several topiary sculptures and parts of the full-size glass settee featured in this installation, which she decided to entitle After You’re Gone. From her home base in Wisconsin, Lipman created glass “wallpaper” based on an 18th-century French pattern sample in The RISD Museum’s collection, two “ portraits” in glass, 500 snails, and two squirrels. The installation also incorporates Laid Table (Still Life with Metal Pitcher), a large circular sculpture, which she made in September 2007 with this exhibition in mind.

Styrofoam: From Industrial Invention to Artistic Transformation
Judith Tannenbaum and Amy Pickworth, Editor
Exhibition Notes, Number 29, Spring 2008. Ubiquitous in our culture, styrofoam is used to insulate buildings, package computers and other consumer products, and produce picnic coolers and containers for fast food and take-out. For decades, artists have employed styrofoam in the making of models and molds for casting. Today, however, more and more artists are exploring it as a primary material or a subject in its own right, using it in new and ingenious ways to create sculpture, paintings, and installations.

Definition of Videogames
Grant Tavinor
Can videogames be defined? The new field of games studies has generated three somewhat competing models of videogaming that characterize games as new forms of gaming, narratives, and interactive fictions. When treated as necessary and sufficient condition definitions, however, each of the three approaches fails to pick out all and only videogames. In this paper I argue that looking more closely at the formal qualities of definition helps to set out the range of definitional options open to the games theorist. A disjunctive definition of videogaming seems the most appropriate of these definitional options. The disjunctive definition I offer here is motivated by the observation that there is more than one characteristic way of being a videogame.

RISD European Honors Program | Rome
RISD Archives, Andrew Martinez, and Peter O'Neill
A film documenting the RISD European Honors Program in Rome (2006), featuring students, faculty (Jan Baker, Ezio Genovese), and EHP alumni in Providence (Ronald Binks, Bunny Harvey, David Macaulay, Stuart Murphy). In March 2007, RISD Archivist Andrew Martinez and FAV Professor and filmmaker Peter O'Neill traveled to Rome to meet with EHP faculty, staff, and students to document the program. The project continued in Providence, Rhode Island with video taped interviews of several EHP alumni and former Chief and Visiting Critics.
The EHP documentary film project was made possible through a gift from William Whelan, RISD Class of 1937. Additional funding provided by the Office of Academic Affairs.
