Gordon Matta-Clark: (ex)urban futures of the recent past

In the organizer's words:

Galerie Thomas Schulte presents (Ex)Urban Futures of the Recent Past , an exhibition of films and photographs by Gordon Matta-Clark, curated by David Hartt. The title underlines Matta-Clark's critical examination of large-scale urban initiatives to combat urban decay and contrasts this with his own approach to reinventing the city.

The term "exurban" refers to the blurred boundaries of modern cities and at the same time criticizes the increasing commercialization of architecture. Hartt focuses on three films: Automation House (1972), Open House (1972) and City Slivers (1976) - works that emphasize a much more human scale through a variety of experimental approaches. The presentation is complemented by photographs from the series Walls (1972).

Curated by David Hartt
