Long Intro
Rachael L. McIntosh attended Rhode Island School of Design, the University of Hartford, and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design where she graduated with a BFA in painting. After graduation, she created a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and opened Entropy Place, a 2,000 square foot gallery with a recording studio and a black box theater in the North End of Boston. This space, located in the old Castignetti Tuxedo Factory, offered artists the opportunity to create, collaborate, and show their art.
Rachael’s art work became more interdisciplinary as she was making huge oil paintings, artist’s books, zines and recording Noise. Her Noise band, Mr. Couple A Drinks, hit #7 on the college charts. Her artists’ books are in the collections of MIT professor Noam Chomsky, jazz musician John Scofield, and Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s Library. The e-zine, http://mcgillville.com/
