Matta-Clark’s building cuts allowed him to rethink the notion of space, the function of the artist operating in the public sphere, and ultimately to create ephemeral works without constructing or adding any elements.
“I feel my work intimately with the process as a form of theater in which the working activity and the structural changes to and whithin the buiding are the performance. I also include a free interpretation of movement as gesture, both metaphoric, sculptural, and social into my sense of theater, with only the most incidental audience – an ongoing act for the passer-by just as the construction site provides a stage for busy pedestrians in transit.”
