Paperback. Condition: New. The immense ambition and scale of Gordon Matta-Clark's projects, and their fearless reimagining of the urban landscape, challenged city-dwellers to reconsider the very notion of built structure and the fragility of seemingly unassailable edifices. Matta-Clark's first interventions took place in abandoned, derelict structures, upon which he performed his famous 'building cuts' and 'intersects'. First published in 2008 (for a show at SMS Contemporanea in Siena), and organised thematically and chronologically, this substantial volume looks at these and other bodies of work, such as the Food restaurant, the performances, the 'estates' and the artist's pursuit of alternative economical housing. The catalogue also includes a filmography and critical essays, plus an interview done by Judith Russi Kirshner in 1978. Text in English and Italian.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Il volume accompagna l'evento espositivo dedicato in Italia all''anarchitetto' Gordon Matta-Clark (New York, 1943-1978), attraverso il quale si ricostruisce la parabola della sua carriera che, a partire dalla fine degli anni sessanta fino alla prematura scomparsa, ha spaziato fra i linguaggi e i mezzi espressivi più diversi. Sin dai primi esperimenti Matta Clark impronta la propria attività ai criteri della destrutturazione, della rottura, dello spostamento fisico e semantico di elementi architettonici, creando forme innovative di convivenza tra l'uomo e il reale. I primi a essere documentati come Garbage Wall (1970) - sono gli interventi che, intrapresi nei cosiddetti 'non luoghi', come cortili derelitti, discariche o zone malfamate in totale abbandono, segnano l'avvento della coscienza e della consapevolezza ecologica nell'arte e che, intersecandosi con la Land Art, aprono la strada all'indagine successiva, incentrata sui cambiamenti nel tessuto urbano e architettonico. Particolare attenzione è stata posta, infine, ai famosi 'tagli', con cui Matta Clark seziona pareti, solai e interi edifici, secondo geometrie precise che ne alterano la percezione: una sorta di chirurgia dello spazio, che scompone e ricompone la materia. Il catalogo accoglie interventi critici di James Attlee, Jane Crawford, Louise Désy e Gwendolyn Owens, Lorenzo Fusi, Marco Pierini e un'intervista all'artista realizzata nel 1978 da Judith Russi Kirscher, ed è completato da apparati biobibliografici.
