Description
Gordon Matta-Clark. Catalogo della mostra (Siena, 6 giugno-19 ottobre 2008). Ediz. italiana e inglese by Gordon Matta-Clark This catalogue accompanies an exhibition in Italy dedicated to the work of architect and artist Gordon Matta-Clark, spanning his career from the late 1960s until his untimely death in 1978. The book showcases Matta-Clark's innovative approach to architecture and sculpture, which involved deconstruction, fragmentation, and reassembly of physical spaces. Matta-Clark's work often explored the relationship between humans and the environment, using unconventional materials and sites such as abandoned courtyards, rubbish dumps, and neglected buildings. His 'garbage walls' and other interventions marked a turning point in the development of land art, paving the way for further investigation into urban change and architecture. The catalogue includes critical essays by James Attlee, Jane Crawford, Louise Désy, Gwendolyn Owens, Lorenzo Fusi, Marco Pierini, and an interview with Matta-Clark conducted in 1978. It is supplemented by biographical and bibliographical apparatus.
