In 1988, RISD student Al Read bonded with a fellow skateboard fan and new student who went on to make a giant impression on the art world. As the years passed, Al moved from pizza chef at Fellini’s to owner of the highly regarded Nice Slice Pizza, which embraced Brown and RISD students for years […]
The subject of the new mural is AS220’s Anjel Newmann, known as Medusah Black when she’s performing her music. She took a few minutes to answer our questions about what it’s like to suddenly be on the side of a building. Mike Ryan (Motif): When did you find out you’d be involved in this project? […]
