Francesco Garutti Bücher

Scholars delve into the CCA's Matta-Clark archive, expanding the scope of the artist's endlessly generative oeuvre This book unpacks the comprehensive Gordon Matta-Clark collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CP138) in Montreal, opening it up to provisional readings from various perspectives. Yann Chateigné reorganizes Matta-Clark's library into areas of inquiry, from alchemy to psychoanalysis, as a framework for gathering traces?--written and drawn?--of his thinking. Hila Peleg reassembles hours of discarded film footage, challenging the notion of documentation and returning to view the physical and social contexts?--the relational space?--of Matta-Clark's interventions. And from hundreds of travel photographs, Kitty Scott constructs a panorama of Matta-Clark's visual notes on the world around him?--a foil to his artworks.
