A pioneering figure of the New York Art scene of the 1970s, Matta-Clark reinvisioned the built environment through process interventions that included, among a variety of performances and actions, physically cutting through buildings slated for demolition. His film work documents and engages with urban environments in both critical and liberating turns, reimagining the ways in which we occupy shared space and sociopolitical structures.
