Hello Lightning Tamers, Percy here, this is episode number 64! In today's podcast, I’m excited to welcome Rïse Peacock, an artist, curator, and educator with over a decade of experience in the educational and nonprofit art sectors. Currently the first Curatorial Fellow of Postwar and Contemporary Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass. Rïse approaches curating, teaching, and artmaking from an interdisciplinary perspective, with a specific focus on queer histories, material culture, and luminous phenomena. They have curated notable exhibitions such as Big Mood and the Women Create Biennial in Jamestown, NY. Today, we’ll dive into Rïse’s curatorial work, their artistic journey, and their fascination with light-based art, including the significance of Geissler tubes CMoG's collection.

Welcome to the podcast Rïse Peacock!
