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.

Résumé:
Publication de l'exposition thématique qui a regroupé des photographes du Québec et de la Catalogne. Se basant sur la prémisse que l'art contemporain a de plus en plus recours au concept et aux diverses interprétations de la maison, chaque artiste présente un regard personnel sur les croisements entre les endroits publics et les endroits personnels, révélant des lieux où l'architecture s'intègre dans la vie quotidienne. L'essai nous dirige à travers l'oeuvre de chaque artiste, soit par observations ou par analyses qui suggèrent la narration qui émerge des différents endroits représentés par des paysages, banlieues, villes ou maisons. Parmi les artistes québécois on retrouve Jocelyne Alloucherie, Nicolas Baier, Alain Paiement et Claire Savoie et Jordi Colomer, Anna Ferrer, Perejaume et Xavier Ribas pour la Catalogne. Cette publication est la plus récente dans une série qui trace un lien entre ces deux âmes-soeurs séparées par un océan. Produit en collaboration avec Tinglato 2, Centre d'art contemporani à Tarragone. En français, anglais et catalan. / Publication of a thematic exhibition featuring leading photographers from Québec, Canada, and Catalunya, Spain. Working from a premise that contemporary art increasingly resorts to representations of the home, each artist presents a personal take on the intersections between public place and private space, revealing points where architecture fits into the lives of people. Through observation and analysis Jean suggests narratives that arise from the places depicted, be they landscape, the suburb, the city or the home. With the participation of Jocelyne Alloucherie, Nicolas Baier, Alain Paiement, Claire Savoie, Jordi Colomer, Anna Ferrer, Perejaume and Xavier Ribas. The latest in a series of publications from Vox drawing on kindred national spirits. Produced with Tinglado 2, Centre d'art contemporani. In English, French and Catalan.
