Justin Halley_Museum of Art Rhode Island School of Design (less crappy museum)

Okay, I felt bad about how crappy that last museum design was, so I picked another one to do a post about. This one is the Museum of Art, from the Rhode Island School of Design, so you know it has good design. The show is Double-and-Add: Angela Bulloch, Anthony McCall, Haroon Mirza. The title  "plays on a mathematical term used in binary coding, referencing a computational function found in electronic and digital processing." The website does a much better job of explaining the theme of the show then I ever could, "The three featured artists—Angela Bulloch, Haroon Mirza, and Anthony McCall—use time-based media (programmed light, sound, and slide projection) to investigate the sensory transmission of information through seemingly immaterial systems such as algorithms, electricity, and RGB-light.".
I just thought that this was an interesting idea, using things such as light and sound to make a statement about art, tying the idea of art to things such as coding and mathematics which are usually considered very UN-artistic. The site is very simply designed, with the page featuring the show being particularly simplified. However, it uses the simplicity well enough. The typefaces used are all simple sans-serifs, but the type is used well (as opposed to the cartoon museum I posted). The actual design of the museum is pretty great, using a simple series of rectangles stacked up on one another to quite a pleasing effect. The clash of the more naturalistic brown (possibly bricks?) against the metallic grey paneling is a nice use of contrast as well. Overall I just found the exhibit to be interesting, the design of the museum was just a nice bonus.
