Re: Anthony Vidler on Gordon Matta-Clark

I really don't know enough about Matta-Clark to answer your question. Vidler provides a very good 'genealogy' of Matta-Clark's architectural background, an perhaps what Matta-Clark found and exposed is a large part of architecture's and architecture education's vulnerable, pink and soft underbelly. [Trust me, that underbelly is still there, and even pinker and fatter these days.]

Beyond that, I'm honestly jealous of Matta-Clark being Duchamp's godson! Some people have all the luck. Then again, I did tear out a quondam termite infested baseboard in my mother's basement on Tuesday.
