A sculpture (possibly by Gordon Matta-Clark) at the Barbican's "Pioneers of the Downtown Scene: New York" exhibit, in London.
Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 AIS manual focus lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
Split bird-box. It is a little known fact that Gordon Matta-Clark used to use bird-boxes as maquettes to try out his ideas on a small scale. Then he would pop into the nearest estate agent etc.

I don't like your fashion business mister,
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin,
I don't like what happened to my sister,
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Oltre le immagini dei primi due capitoli (LEGO al di fuori di Legoland e una fattoria in città) sono presenti le prime due immagini del terzo capitolo "dietro il muro": una ricerca formale e geometrica ispirata dall'opera dell'artista-anarchitetto statunitense Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978).
In questo capitolo le facciate cieche di edifici del centro di Roma sono le protagoniste, queste superfici hanno attirato la mia curiosità: tolto il sottile strato di intonaco quale materia verrebbe alla luce? cosa si nasconde dietro quel muro?
Gli oggetti inseriti in questi montaggi non sono in aggiunta come quelli dei precedenti capitoli ma in sottrazione eseguendo un'operazione booleana: forme geometriche elementari, il cono e la sfera, sottratte alla consistenza edificata creano profili ellittici e circolari, tracce che denunciano la presenza di invisibili solidi.
November 23rd, 2008 - Geneva, Switzerland
I guess there might be a similarly nervous expression on my face if I were to find myself apparently trapped with a camera-wielding stranger in the middle of the claustrophobic installation Open House by Gordon Matta-Clark, currently on display at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCO) in Geneva. Despite it's welcoming name - extraordinarily, the original work of 1972 (of which this is a reconstruction) converted an abandoned dumpster into what was apparently intended as a home for the homeless - this consists of a series of interconnected graffiti-covered corridors and squeaky doors, each of which only opens one way, and several of which it is only possible to pass through in one direction - in fact, it is only possible to leave by the door by which you entered.
Earlier visitors to this exhibit were actively encouraged to adorn it with graffiti. However, there is now beside it a sign explaining that for conservation reasons, visitors are asked to refrain from adding new graffiti. Which seems a little suprising if one compares the relatively pristeen state of this version with the one that appears in this short film, taken at the David Zwirner gallery in New York in 2007 - and which gives a pretty good idea of what it feels like inside the installation.

In 1977, the MCA invited New York-based artist Gordon Matta-Clark to transform a residential brownstone building adjacent to the museum (in its former location on East Ontario Street) that the MCA had recently purchased to convert into additional galleries. Matta-Clark was at the time known largely for guerilla projects in which he cut into abandoned buildings to create what he described as “anarchitectural” installations.

Robert Longyear installs for his Transformation Project Walk exhibition. His work includes various found objects.
Urban Evolution is an after-school program with high school students interested in the arts. Led by St. Louis-based artist Robert Longyear, the project will primarily take place in a building in the Grand Center district of St. Louis, serving as both studio and inspiration for the students’ work. They will learn about the evolution of the district, thereby deepening their understanding of place and how creativity can heal and inspire.
In 1974, Matta-Clark operated on a two-story home in New Jersey slated for demolition, effectively splitting it down the middle.

Screening of ‘A Stake in the Mud, A Hole in the Reel. Land Art's Expanded Field 1968–2008', at the Barn Hongersdijk Farmstead, Wilhelminapolder, Zeeland, The Netherlands (screening hosted by SKOR (Foundation Art and Public Space, Amsterdam), 11 July 2008.
Borrowing its title from the writings of Robert Smithson, this programme revisited a selection of moving-image works that form part of the historical memory of Land Art, through and alongside more recent productions by contemporary artists. It was developed following an invitation to curate the spring 2008 Panorámica video cycle for the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City [19°28' N, 99°09' W].
The project grew out of Latitudes' work on LAND, ART: A Cultural Ecology Handbook (2006), in looking at the legacy of Land Art in relation with contemporary practice and social and environmental ecology. A concern with remoteness, together with the powerful allure of specific sites, wove throughout the films, which were set in locations including the sewers of New York and Vienna (Gordon Matta-Clark, Hans Schabus), the deserts of California (Mario Garcia Torres), the mountains of the Basque country (Ibon Aranberri), and the beaches of Taveuni (Nikolaj Recke).

«Global Groove» (Nation Building as Art): Sarawut Chutiwongpeti, Valéry Grancher, CM von Hausswolff & Leif Elggren, Gordon Matta-Clark, Phill Niblock, Superflex (with a further discussion of work by Nam June Paik)
«Global Groove» demonstrates how recent Artwork has been influenced by changing "global" relationships and technology. The phrase was introduced by pioneer video artist Nam June Paik in 1973 as a title for his own view of social communication after the influence of television.

A single photograph could not capture the complicated design of this installation; one had to walk through the building to experience it fully. As the title Circus suggests, Matta-Clark conceived of the work as a spectacular performative event in which the viewer could take part simply by moving through space. Just as he used existing buildings as material for his work—in his own words, “rethinking what is already there”—he then used photographs of that work as source material for collages, creating many related artworks in an attempt to convey the feeling of his building cuts. The photomontages and collages on view in this exhibition demonstrate his attempt to grapple with the physical logic of what he had created.

The light from the incision invaded the interior and united the rooms with a swath of brilliance. The artist photographed his work and created a collage of prints, the unconventional disposition of which re-creates the disorienting experience of the unprecedented destruction.
