Arrangements and Other Photographic

Maneuvres: Daniel Lefcourt Arranges the Trevor Traina Collection

Organized by the RCAI and drawn from the exceptional photography collection of Ambassador Trevor D. Traina, the exhibition departs from New York-based artist Daniel Lefcourt’s series of so-called Arrangements (2004/05), works that examine the processes of collecting, arranging and systemizing that underpin institutions like the Redwood. While arranging masterpiece photographs from the Traina collection that establish affinities with his own work, Lefcourt has also produced a new series of Arrangements culled from the Redwood collection.

Expanding Horizons: Highlights from the Clouds Hill House Museum

The exhibition introduces the remarkably well-preserved objects and custom furnishings of Clouds Hill, a Gothic Revival-Italianate mansion on the shore of Greenwich Bay, RI constructed in 187277 by Providence textile manufacturer William Smith Slater (18171882). Designed by Providence architect William R. Walker, the house’s interior decoration, done by William McPherson & Co., and it’s furnishings by Doe & Hunnewell, were never substantially altered, allowing the house to retain all of its original authenticity, not only physically, but also in the preservation of its residents’ personalities and spirit.
