Passing Through Architecture:the 10 Years of Gordon Matta-clark
As the first large-scale exhibition of Matta-Clark’s work in China, «Passing Through Architecture: The 10 Years of Gordon Matta-Clark» traces the remarkable thinking and avant-garde works of this interdisciplinary artist from 1968 to 1978 with more than 400 drawings, photo-works, films and archival documents. It aims to examine Matta-Clark’s relentless exploration of topics like architecture, space, biology and ecology; to question the nature of architecture, the natural environment, and human life beyond the scope of architecture 50 years after the artist’s return to New York, and to rethink the multi-faceted legacy left by modernist urban planning ideas.
