Elliott Hundley
Los Angeles-based artist Elliott Hundley is known for expanding the traditional notions of collage and assemblage in a multidisciplinary practice of painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography that synthesizes ancient epics, futuristic narratives, and contemporary realities. Hundley leverages an abiding knowledge of classical mythology and literature to weave a fabric of allusions, informing projects such as his 2011 solo exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, and took on the Ancient Greek tragedy The Bacchae by Euripides as its subject matter. In 2019, Hundley inaugurated the exhibition series Open House at MOCA, Los Angeles, exploring how the visual and material logic of collage has informed artists in MOCA’s collection, as well as his own practice.

The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Catherine Fatima reading.
Catherine Fatima
Writer Catherine Fatima was born, raised, and currently lives in Toronto. Her first book Sludge Utopia was published by Book*hug Press in 2018, and was reviewed by The Literary Review of Canada and The White Wall Review. You might enjoy it if you are interested in sex, depression, fitness of the self for life under the hell of capitalism, young adulthood, a bit too much continental philosophy for a novel, latent Catholicism, some drug use, friendship, family, and love. It’s a work of autofiction.
