Gordon Matta Clark You Are the Measure
The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) presents Gordon Matta-Clark: "You Are the Measure," a full-scale retrospective of one of the key figures to emerge in the generation of artists that followed minimalism.

The son of surrealist painter Roberto Matta Echaurren, Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) produced an oeuvre of remarkable breadth, incorporating spatial, social, and psychological experiences.

The exhibition celebrates Matta-Clark's brilliance and the radical nature of his work in a number of different media: drawings, films, photographs, notebooks, and sculptures assembled from his acclaimed building cuts.

A wealth of documentary material related to his interactions with architecture and space, community events, and collective activity is also included.

Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art's Elisabeth Sussman, Curator and Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography, the exhibition was on view at the Whitney Museum from February 22, 2007 - June 3, 2007 and will be on view at MOCA Grand Avenue September 16, 2007 - January 7, 2008.

MOCA's presentation is organized by MOCA Curator of Architecture and Design Brooke Hodge.
