v.1
Publication, Editorial
Newspaper print
v.1 is a publishing platform for the ongoing work, ideas, discussions, debates, and aspirations of students at the Rhode Island School of Design. Its form and content are endlessly flexible. In this issue of v.1, we (re)emerge amidst the clamor of Spring. We wander through themes of mapping, objecthood, growing pains, and critiques of frameworks that were once thought to be chiseled in stone.
Essays delve into death and rebirth on Mount Fuji, musings on chicken-coop-core, roadside Americana, a search for a “cartographic counterexample,” and the power of THAD to mutate the canon. We learn what is up with dealing found objects on Instagram, the many (many) ways to think about process-based work, the warp and weft of Indigenous storytelling, and other sparkling stones collected along the way. Designed in collaboration with Brianna Chiu.
