R.H. Quaytman works in Connecticut and Belgium. Quaytman received the Rome Prize Fellowship from the American Academy in 2001 and the Wolfgang Hahn Prize with Michael Krebber in 2015. Since 2006, Quaytman has taught at Bard College, in addition to lecturing at Princeton University, Cooper Union, Columbia University, and the Yale University School of Art. In 2005, she co-founded Orchard, a cooperatively-run exhibition and event space that concluded its three-year run on the Lower East Side in 2008. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and elsewhere. Her most recent NYC exhibition was X +, Chapter 34 (2018), shown alongside Hilma af Klint at the Guggenheim Museum.

    Felix Bernstein is the author of Burn Book (Nightboat) and Notes on Post-Conceptual Poetry (Insert Blanc Press). His writing has been featured in Mousse, Flash Art, Spike Arts Magazine, Poetry Magazine, Bookforum, Art in America, Bomb, and Texte Zur Kunst.

He is currently at odds with the root metaphors of developmental progress.

    The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we're fortunate to have Dao Strom reading.

    Artist Dao Strom works with three “voices”—written, sung, visual—to explore hybridity and the intersection of personal and collective histories. She is the author of Instrument (Fonograf Editions, 2020) and its musical companion Traveler’s Ode (Antiquated Future Records, 2020); a bilingual poetry-art book, You Will Always Be Someone From Somewhere Else (AJAR Press); a memoir, We Were Meant To Be a Gentle People, and song cycle, East/West; and two books of fiction, The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys and Grass Roof, Tin Roof. Born in Vietnam, Strom grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California and lives in Portland, Oregon. She is co-founder of two collective art projects, She Who Has No Master(s), and De-Canon.

    We’d like to thank The Marion Boulton Kippy Stroud Foundation and Teiger Foundation for making these conversations possible, and for their support of our growing archive 🌈✨
