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.

I am a painter who has been very influenced by Susan Rothenberg and I find her mental process to be very refreshing, no wonder her paintings speak to me, she is a neat lady
