Ce film est le portrait d'une canadienne d'exception, animée par une passion sans pareille pour l'architecture. Phyllis Lambert, née Bronfman, est rattachée à quelques-unes des grandes réalisations du siècle dernier : du Seagram Building, à New York, dont elle obtint de son père qu'il en confiât la conception à ce grand maître de la modernité que fut Mies van der Rohe, en passant par le retour aux sources que représenta pour elle la guérilla qu'elle a menée pour sauver le Vieux-Montréal, jusqu'à la création de cette institution sans égale dans le monde qu'est le Centre Canadien d'Architecture. Il restait à en tirer un film : ce qu'à réussi Teri Wehn-Damisch, en suivant des voies elles-mêmes toutes de traverses.

Résumé:
Gordon Matta-Clark, scion and rebel, died at 35 in 1978 and has since become a cult figure of late-twentieth-century art. Born in New York and trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the field's conventions in vivid projects that excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New York City alleys and curbs. As the son of the Chilean-born Surrealist painter Roberto Matta and Anne Clark, and godson of Marcel Duchamp, with whom he played a regular game of chess in the Village, Matta-Clark had grown up inside the art world, also working an as assistant to mavericks like Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson. His work and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an "artist's artist," and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention and affection, were always also grounded in social or political convictions. He addressed not only space and real estate (in other words, housing), but the ultimate in necessity and nourishment, food. His "Pig Roast" under the Brooklyn Bridge offered passersby 500 pork sandwiches, and Food, the artist-staffed restaurant that he opened with dancer Caroline Goodden in SoHo, became a headquarters for that nascent neighborhood in the early 70s. He consistently broke the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, photography and film, performance and installation, and above all the permanent and the transitory. Once in a while he also broke the law. This book, published in celebration of the gradual opening of Matta-Clark's archives at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, collects previously unavailable writings, including notecards and notebooks, along with interviews and more than 100 illustrations.
