Ishmael Randall Weeks
Ishmael Randall Weeks (Cusco, Perú, 1976) graduated from Bard College in 2000 and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007. His work has been exhibited in various galleries and museums in Peru and internationally, including Middlesbrough Institute of Modern of Art (England, United Kingdom); MoMA P.S.1 (New York); Spanish Culture Center of Buenos Aires (CCBBA); and elsewhere, including numerous biennials. He has garnered numerous residency grants and awards from various institutions including the Rockefeller Foundation, the MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Rome, Italy; and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New York; among others.
Tom McGlynn
Artist, writer, and independent curator Tom McGlynn is based in the NYC area. His work is represented in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum of the Smithsonian. He is the director of Beautiful Fields, an organization dedicated to socially-engaged curatorial projects, and is also currently a visiting lecturer at Parsons School of Design, The New School. McGlynn’s work is interested in the morphing of commercial signage into cyphers of phenomenal experience—minimalist, abstract arrangements of color. He holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BFA from the Ramapo College of New Jersey. Tom is an Editor-at-Large for the Brooklyn Rail.
The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Will Stanier reading.
