Constructions / Destructions / Instructions: The Films of Gordon Matta-Clark

Mission District

In the 1970s, Gordon Matta-Clark sliced through walls with chainsaws and sledgehammers, turning condemned buildings into radical art. These six 16mm films capture his "building cuts" before the structures vanished forever. A rare chance to see an "anarchitect" at work, introducing light where walls once stood.
