Author Description

"This book unpacks the comprehensive Gordon Matta-Clark collection at the CCA (CP138), opening it up to provisional readings from different points of view. 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. 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."--Page 4 of cover.
