‘Gordon Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect: Luxury will be King’
I’m very pleased to announce that an article ‘Gordon Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect: Luxury will be King’ will be published by The Journal For Cultural Research in 2011. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/14797585.asp
The analysis considers Gordon Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect (also known as Etant d’art pour locataire, 1975), as a physical expression of the psychological tensions between rational and irrational impulses active at the artwork’s moment and location (the Plateau Beaubourg during the Paris biennale of 1975), and seeks to demonstrate how such conflicting and contradictory forces manifest themselves within, and are refracted by, the iconographic language of the art object.
