Day's End 1975
Gordon Matta-Clark’s works include performance and recycling pieces, space and texture works, and “building cuts.” He uses a number of media to document his work, including film, video, and photography. In his signature work, “building cuts,” perceiving the natural light through new openings is sensational, but it would become even more inspiring if we learn, through his works, that some notions in nature or in society are only noticeable by the existence of violence.
When does creation begin and when does it end?
What’s beyond the building surfaces?
Finished building itself does not conclude people’s experiences. His works aim toward completion through removal and destruction. In the process, new openings against old surfaces introduce physical and conceptual complexity to the space. However, he does not define what-to-be-found from the transformation. The process of discovery depends on people. For him understanding of art in a social context is an essentially generous human act, because each positive attempt of individuals varies from one to another, and it discovers the context -where they belong to- in different ways. Interpretation should be personal. What he creates is the opportunity for people to situate themselves within a larger urban context.
