Part of Architecture Week

The late chainsaw-wielding artist Gordon Matta-Clark is best known as an ‘anarchitect’ who literally deconstructed abandoned buildings and industrial spaces. Much less known are his works as a filmmaker, works that reveal his performances and installations more fully and create their own cinematically arresting terrain. This programme presents several newly restored films that document Matta-Clark's early performances and some of his best-known architectural ‘cuttings’. Among the performances are Fresh Kills (1972), Office Baroque (1977) and Bingo (1974), which captures Matta-Clark dividing a townhouse into nine sections.
