Sam Rauch is an independent curator and producer of artist projects, primarily in public space. Since 2007, he has collaborated closely with some of the world’s leading artists to realize their most ambitious exhibitions, commissions, and site-specific installations. In the course of Director-level roles at Public Art Fund, the New Museum, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, and Madison Square Park, he has partnered with artists ranging from emerging to world-renowned, produced dynamic new works in virtually every conceivable medium and scale, and engaged diverse publics in New York City and globally, in contexts ranging from traditional museum and gallery spaces to public streets and parks, iconic urban landmarks, and important civic sites. His research focuses on prototyping experimental and interdisciplinary collaborative art practices that foster kinship, reciprocity, care, and repair within and between the human and more-than-human realms.
