A month ago I visited Mary Boone Gallery to see what was showing, but also to see RISD alumni Mary Boone herself. Mary’s career arc leaving RISD shows an incredible drive to be truthful to the core of her creative pursuits — which turned from making art, to the art of showing artworks. I find that RISD’s network of entrepreneurs is similar to that of MIT’s. Passion and creative thinking are the same raw materials – the difference I’m finding however, are that the resultant enterprises are distinctly unique.
