Artist and Curator in Conversation: Susan Rothenberg and Michael Auping

This conversation was part of a series of public programs celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the MATRIX Program. Michael Auping, inaugural curator of the MATRIX Program at BAM/PFA, once described MATRIX as a process of inquiry, a space to question, learn, and establish value within the new. Susan Rothenberg, one of the first artists exhibited in MATRIX (in 1978), embraced a similar experimental attitude when she employed the figure of a horse to explore the essence of painting.
