The Films of Gordon Matta-Clark
Programme Two, City Slivers
Part of
Architecture Week
Richard Nonas, artist and former member of the Anarchitecture group, introduces five more films that delve deep into Gordon Matta-Clark’s obsession with buildings, gaps, cuts, slices… and fish? Food (1973) is a time-capsule documentary that captures one of Matta-Clark's most atypical instances of conceptual art: the creation and operation of a popular downtown Manhattan restaurant run by artists. City Slivers (1976) and the Harold Lloyd-inspired Clockshower (1974) play with cinematic form and convention. Conical Intersect and Day's End (both 1975) display Matta-Clark's architectural slicings at their most graceful and disorienting.
