CHICAGO.-The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, presents Gordon Matta-Clark: “You Are the Measure,” a full-scale retrospective of one of the key figures to emerge in the generation of artists that followed Minimalism from February 2 to May 4, 2008. The son of Surrealist painter Roberto Matta Echaurren, Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) produced an oeuvre of remarkable breadth, incorporating spatial, social, and psychological experiences. The exhibition celebrates Matta-Clark’s brilliance and the radical nature of his work in a number of different media: drawings, films, photographs, notebooks, and sculptures assembled from his acclaimed building cuts. A wealth of documentary material related to his interactions with architecture and space, community events, and collective activity is also included.
