Gordon Matta-Clark Bücher

The book serves as a comprehensive archive that captures the essence of Gordon Matta-Clark's artistry and the vibrant cultural context of his time. It presents an extensive selection of materials, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in Matta-Clark's work. The narrative emphasizes the significance of the archive itself, portraying Matta-Clark's career as an integral part of this living document that reflects both his formidable talent and the electric era in which he created.

"Short Term Eternity" brings together two artists – Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978, USA) and Anu Vahtra (1982, Estonia) – whose practices are related to each other in many ways, even if they are born in different times and locations. The aim of the book is not just to compare their work, but to describe the circling of ideas and strategies in the art world from a non-hierarchical perspective. The book is published on the occasion of "Gordon Anarchitect. Anu Completion through removal", an exhibition in the Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, February 22 – June 8, 2019, organised in cooperation between the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Kumu Art Museum, curated by Sergio Bessa, Jessamyn Fiore, and Anu Allas.
