Where Nothing Has Ever Happened is an exhibition at the Gelman Gallery in the RISD Museum that proposes a pace shift, a reorientation toward the quiet and the barely perceptible. The works selected resist sensory hierarchy, delay knowing, and invite viewers to perceive the speculative, the out–of–focus, and the fragile. It is in this space of openness between seeing and sensing that clarity dissolves, yet new connections arise in the internal drift.

The exhibition was curated by Andrea Mato, Dahlia Aggarwal, and Kyle Dong. Andrea Mato also provided the graphic design, using Adobe Caslon and Neue Haas Grotesk.

Featuring work from: Andrea Mato, Anne Kim, Anthony Zhang, Asha Postins, Ashley Natasha Bedet, Charlston Britton, Dahlia Aggarwal, Daisy Benardo, Edgar Solórzano, Elle Wall, Elliott Golden, Izzie Middleton, Jasper Donner, Jiho Kim, Josephine Truscott, Kevin Tomas, Kyle Gyumin Dong, Leah Baron, Lingyi Hu (Ada), Mahrukh Khizar, Marky Salvati, Meka Tome, Minsik Joo, Natalia Kapitan, Nathaniel Campos, Olivia Saporito, Phoebe Quin Kong, Siran Liu, Tamar Chameides, and Vida Zamora, and Wenhan Hu.
