Description
Michael Auping was the first MATRIX curator, directing the program from 1978-1980. Auping will be in conversation with Susan Rothenberg, one of three artists in the first MATRIX rotation. Rothenberg's expressive figurative paintings of the late 1970s were an important bellwether for the turn towards painting that followed the cool dominance of minimalism and conceptual art. Over the years, from her iconic horse paintings to more recent explorations of daily life, Rothenberg has pursued an individual course of painting with an abiding interest in surface and tactility that mines both abstraction and representation. Michael Auping is currently Chief Curator at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
