Gordon Matta-Clark is a cult figure of late twentieth century art. Trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field’s conventions in vivid projects that excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an”artist’s artist,” and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions.

Description
As the son of the Chilean-born Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and Anne Clark, and godson of Marcel Duchamp, Matta-Clark had grown up inside the art world, also working as an assistant to mavericks like Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson. He consistently broke the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, photography and film, performance and installation, and above all the permanent and the transitory. Once in a while he also broke the law. This book, published in celebration of the gradual opening of Matta-Clark's archives at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, collects previously unavailable writings, including notecards and notebooks, along with interviews and more than 700 illustrations
