Bronx Museum announces Gordon Matta-Clark exhibition

The Bronx Museum has just announced it will stage an exhibition on Gordon Matta-Clark and his work in and around the Bronx.

The exhibit Gordon Matta-Clark: Anarchitecture will examine “the artist’s pioneering social, relational, and activist” work. There have been scores of Matta-Clark exhibits, but few connect the artist’s work to the underserved and troubled urban landscape of the 1970s and his activist approach. The museum has a distinguished history—under its Director, Holly Block, and Principal Curator, Sergio Bessa—of highlighting the borough’s urban history and its often neglected importance to the art of the city and the moments of artistic joy that often spring from its rocky soil. Matta-Clark is the perfect artist to pair with the Bronx Museum’s mandate to not just highlight the borough’s urban history but to highlight activist solutions by artists and architects.

The exhibit will run from November 2017 to January 2018. For more on the Bronx Museum, see its website here.
