gordon matta-clark -'you are the measure' by yale university press
qualifying the ancient greek saying “man is the measure,” gordon matta-clark (1943–1978) asserted instead “you are the measure,” conveying the defining theme in an oeuvre that would exert a powerful influence on fellow artists and architects. in artworks that combined minimalist, conceptual, and performative practices, matta-clark gave primary importance to the individual and considerations of everyday life. this comprehensive book incorporates important new information from the matta-clark archive, presenting a compelling reappraisal of the unique beauty and radical nature of matta-clark’s punnings, plans, performances, and interventions evident in the many media in which he worked: sculptural objects (most notably from building cuts), drawings, films, photographs, and documentary material.
