Film & Videos of and with Gordon Matta-Clark

Ensemble

The films and videos from Gordon Matta-Clark, some on-issued, others recently restored, exist as memories of his performances, his projects in the abandoned urban space and interventions on buildings. These interventions were planned before the actual demolition were 'cuts' where performed according to precise patterns and drawings. These marginal and spectacular creations offer a unique and often visionary thinking and reflect the paradoxical relationship between architecture and society in modernity.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
