When Gordon Matta-Clark assembled the titles to and documentation of a dozen-odd small, vacant parcels of New York property between 1974 and 1977 (later assembled and exhibited as Reality Properties: Fake Estates in 1992), it was with no well-formed agenda—other than his view that the availability of vacant and underutilized parcels [was] a direct reminder of the fallacy(...)

Description:
Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke was both a site-specific installation/construction for Corrid’Art (1976), commissioned by the Programme art et culture, XXIe Olympiade, and a series of drawings and constructed photographs. The installation consisted of the construction of two full-sized facades of 19th century greystone town houses out of rough plywood and pipe scaffolding. The facades were erected in a vacant lot on Rue Sherbrooke, and mirrored the townhouses which still stood on the opposite side of the intersection. The constructed photographs of the same name, and also The Site, Les Maisons, 1976 and The Site Altered, Les Maisons, 1976, depict an intersection in which one side of the street mirrors the other perfectly. By reprinting the photograph, reversed and superimposed on itself, Charney fills a vacant lot with a suggestion of its past. One week after the installation of Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke municipal authorities of the City of Montreal ordered it to be destroyed. Demolition began the night of July 13, 1976.

Tumbleweeds Catcher (1972)
Tumbleweeds Catcher (1972)
Reference number:
AP207.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 162.

Description:
Le dossier documente le projet de construction du Bar Braque, siuté au 980 est, rue Rachel, à Montréal, Québec. Le budget aloué pour ce projet était de 200 000$. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'excellence de l'ordre des architectes du Québec, distinction en architecture, en 1983. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des reprographies, des photographies, des négatifs, des diapositives, des panneaux et un photomontage. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Le bar Braque, du 980 est, rue Rachel à Montréal est un projet d'insertion d'une construction sur un site rendu vacant à la suite d'un feu, il y a plusieurs années. Une construction neuve a permis d'envisager le projet comme un geste entier d'intégration à la rue et à la ville. Les études de façade témoignent de la volonté de réaliser une architecture interprétative du caractère commercial montréalais. On peut y voir les liens fragiles qu'elle établit avec les voisines et simultanément l'importance qu'elle s'accorde par rapport à elles. Aussi, tente-t-elle de vibrer aux textures et aux couleurs préviliégiées des matériaux aptes à assumer les rôles commerciaux et culturels du lieu : bar dans la ville." Jacques Rousseau, Section A, nº 5-6, vol. 2, janvier 1985, p. 12-13.
