Rosalind Krauss remembers a trip to the caves of Ruffignac, Les Combarelles, and Pech Merle in France with Annette Michelson, made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of October magazine, which the two had founded in 1976. Krauss describes the significance of Michelson's interest in paleontology and her important translation of two chapters of André Leroi-Gerhoun's Prehistory of Western Art (published in October 37).

On the occasion of Marcel Broodthaers's first retrospective in New York at the Museum of Modern Art and forty years after his death in 1976, October presents a roundtable discussion on the Belgian artist's career and legacy. Exhibition curators Christophe Cherix and Manuel Borja-Villel join Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Rachel Haidu, Rosalind Krauss, and Trevor Stark for a conversation on Broodthaers's work, his artistic development, and his reception. Topics include the indeterminacy between language and visuality; the status of film in his work; his meditations on the commodity, the art market, and the historical role of cultural institutions; his ambivalent relationship with Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art; and national identity and decolonization.
