Print T-shirt released to commemorate the Tokyo solo exhibition of Gordon Matta-Clark, famous for his "splitting" works. Matta-Clark avoided art exhibitions that simply placed works in the white cube spaces of galleries and museums, instead creating works that engaged with the city and brought to light the issues it harbored. One of his representative works is "Splitting," in which he used his own body and a chainsaw to cut a house in the suburbs of New York in half. At the time, New York was experiencing a severe financial crisis, leading to mass layoffs of civil servants and a worsening of public safety. Abandoned buildings dotted the suburbs. Originally trained in architecture, Matta-Clark used these vacant houses in his performances to highlight the distortions in the relationship between the city, architecture, and people, and to convey to society that the mechanisms of the modern city were not providing clear solutions to the problems occurring at the time. - Color: White - Design: Photo print - Artist: Gordon Matta-Clark - Text: Gordon Matta-Clark, Spring, 2023 - Estate: The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark - XL size
