This
week: Duncan and Richard talk to Madeleine Grynsztejn, the new Director of the
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago!



Stolen liberally from the MCA website, with a bit of BAS embellishment:



 





Grynsztejn
was born in Lima, Peru, and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, and London, England.
She studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and received her BA in art history and
French from Newcomb College of Tulane University, and
her MA in art history from Columbia University. She is a former Helena
Rubenstein Fellow at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and a 2007 graduate of
the Getty Foundation’s Museum Leadership Institute. Grynsztejn has written,
lectured, and taught extensively on contemporary art. She served as a panelist
for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Galeria de Arte Nacional in
Caracas, among other agencies. She acted as a juror for the Emily Hall Tremaine
Foundation, the American Academy in Rome, the Munich



Kunstpreis
in Germany, and the Tiffany Foundation Biennial Awards. She has also served on
the advisory committees for the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the American
Center in Paris. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and French. Her husband,
Tom Shapiro, is a marketing consultant and a damn nice guy. Yes, Bad at Sports
added the “damn nice guy” part, the MCA would never be so inappropriately casual
in a blurb! How dare us. The nerve! It's true though, he really is nice.
