Artist’s Talk: Tauba Auerbach—Peanopoem

Tauba Auerbach, who is featured in the Meander exhibition, shares stories from a winding path of research on the mathematician Giuseppe Peano. Born in 1858, Peano was an influential teacher who printed his own books, advocated for international languages, and was a committed feminist. He first articulated “space filling curves,” a type of fractal central to the artist’s work in the show.
