Quote:

…Matta- Clark received a grant for a project that would teach construction skills to youth from impoverished neighborhoods. The proposal specified the creation of an urban scrap yard and recycling depot for reusing salvaged materials from demolished buildings in these areas. Matta- Clark’s death in 1978 prevented the realization of this innovative project. Nevertheless, his final writings and interviews reflect his plans for participatory architecture projects that would be “responsive to the express will of occupants.”

Comment:

Before starting the MFA last fall, I worked with youth at local churches, teaching them life skills based on biblical principles. On occasion, I created artistic projects for the creatively inclined teens in the program. These projects included t-shirt printing, drama skits, short films, musical explorations, murals and sculpture / installations for events and holiday celebrations. Those involved enjoyed freedom of expression and an escape from the mundane. The audience and observers were often surprised by the creativity. I enjoyed providing the resources, ideas, encouragement, and safe environment for which youth could unveil their hidden voice. In my 15 years of youth ministry, these were some of my most treasured moments. I consider encouraging young people to find and embrace the inner creator within them as a major accomplishment. Learning that Matta-Clark sought to impart his skills with young people brought back great memories and challenges me to revisit my role as an artist who has valuable skills to share.

Question: 

Do artists have a responsibility to contribute to their communities?

Material Rest

Material Rest is a 19” x 16” x 54” chair constructed out of traditional materials as well as their natural counterparts or representations of them. I wanted to show a material breakdown of a typical wooden chair with a pillow seat. The processed 2x4s and plywood are affixed to natural tree branches from my backyard while the filler cotton within the fabric pillow is spilling out into a representation of a cotton plant and the fabric itself is being broken down into its thread and dye. The screws are also hidden to maintain the appearance. By making this chair with various forms of wood I achieved my goal for this project which was to gain experience with wood and the machines used to process it for my sculptural needs.

Anarchitecture

Gordon Matta-Clark questioned ‘Why hang things on the wall when the wall itself is so much more a challenging medium?’ I intended to create a protective piece by configuring a wall into a work of art. In keeping with my main intention towards art, I slipped the theme of recycling into my creation. I became inspired by how Tracy Melton utilized reclaimed wood from his sightseeing of everything nature has offered us and Louise Nevelson’s wooden creations, I constructed an enigmatic fabrication - made from tossed-aside wood and furniture from my neighborhood and home - that shelters recyclable items. The shape has a multi-meaning in appearance. It can be a bin, a shopping cart, a drawer, or such on what the audience sees on first viewing. I sawed five different wood panels - the front and back with left and right sides, respectively, of equal length - and forced them together with the drill and nails. I attacked all sides with the saw to conceal them with extra boxes like how one puts a book in a book case. The recyclables are kept in storage and safety. Walls are a means of protection and shelter by ourselves to conceal our embarrassment and real-selves or much-needed space and boundaries. Constantly seeing many renewable items tossed aside on the ground carelessly onto the ground and trash cans, I’ve heard of artists and sculptors who made pieces of sheltering humanity in some kind of domes as protection from harm. I utilized those ideas and the physical meaning of Wall to create a safe haven for recyclables.

QUOTE: "Matta-Clark adamantly resisted the tendency to reduce his building cuts, however spectacular, to an aesthetic that would neutralize the violence they entailed. He conceptualized his use of violence as “discreet violations,” an initial shock that undermined conventions of architecture and property while awakening the spectator to myriad possibilities for spatial intervention and agency: “The first thing one notices is that violence has been done. Then the violence turns to visual order and hopefully, then to a sense of heightened awareness. . . .My hope is that the dynamism of the action can be seen as an alternative vocabulary with which to question the static inert building environment"

comment: I really did enjoy this essay. it appears as though, like many out there, Matta-Clark art work was a summary of his life. I think that his art works personified his beliefs and traumas. I chose this quote because the quote was a surprising expression of perspective. he managed to find beauty in a destructive act which, in my opinion, is really hard to do. though he despises his architectural background, you cant deny that he created a innovative idea to architectural design. Matta-Clark designs are a intriguing use of open space. its like he is providing freedom to a enclosed environment sort to speak.

I can relate to this quote because like the quote mentioned I have a sense of finding a bit of beauty in violence. I'm a fan of martial arts and find the techniques used are a art in itself and if looked at in a different light, there is a charm to the methods used. violence of any kind whether its through words, physical action, or psychological if used in a specific direction can actually be a eye opener. for example, if I were to tell you something that was offensive but true. it would hurt but ultimately would make your more aware and overall a better person for it. a lot of people wouldn't accept this at first but in time when looked back upon you can feel a sense of admiration.

QUESTION: Would you think there are things in life that you can find an appeal to that aren't the most agreed upon opinion? a lot of times the insight of an expression can be looked at as oppressive , demeaning, and otherwise reproachable. do you think that it makes society a better place or not? in todays sensitive age of conformity. how do you feel about Matta-Clark's expressions of violence in his works?

In addition, I find that a lot of us suffer from a lack of understanding and proper communications given our different upbringings. would you think that its intolerable to used violence in expression (not exactly in a physical sense)? how do you see yourself using violence in your art pieces?

(I know its a lot of questions, just curious)

April 10, 2024. Hopped on a train for a short ride to the seaside town of Sète with a friend for the day. The weather was, as you can see from the pictures, stunning. The wind was a bit strong but as an air sign I find that reinvigorating, plus it died down a bit when we sat on a bench on the Promenade with a view of the water for our lunch.

We walked through the Cimetière des Marins because since Paris I'm looking for Gothic Revival-style mausoleums (one of my many side projects for when my doctoral thesis is done).

We tried to go to a café we knew about for a matcha latte but it was unexpectedly closed for the afternoon. We found a different café which also does matcha but it wasn't very good (it was basically milk that dreamed of being a matcha but couldn't live up to its aspirations).

To finish off the day, we went to the CRAC (Centre Régional d'Art Contemporain) to see the current exhibition, a retrospective of the Italian artist-architect Gianni Pettena titled Anarchitecture.

A wall segment sustaining an ariel attack frozen at the point of impact. In place of a missile or bomb, unsuspected objects like a boxes of Nerds candy, a book about female teen adolescence, a home drug test, a knock off barbie doll or balloons… falling at an angle are the cause of destruction. I am addressing violence and its impact on humanity, but these objects also represent what anti-democratic, anti-capitalistic governments may perceive as symbols of what threatens their ideal society. While the brightly branded packaging and dollar store products reflect western society’s consumeristic behavior it also depicts a playful beauty in our freedom to purchase whatever we want even if it is a coping mechanism.

Menina Totem

Anarchitecture

The transformation of construction walls as objects d'art whereby the basic building elements undergo a process of rebelling against the norm of the expected. Rather than seeing the wall as a flat two-dimensional piece where to hang the art, I chose to reconstruct it as a pillar or column, an obelisk of support becomes the art form itself. The totem idea is an ancient concept used by many cultures across the Globe. From religious adorations to meditation garden sculptures, it serves as a pillar to exalting beauty and as a self-awareness tool. My idea was conceived of staking simplified geometric figures representing the minimalist and industrial feel of the iconic Menina. The vision of portraying the piece in only white with wood is reminiscent of sculptures and other works by Louise Nevelson. Further, adding a hammered application, holes, and other imperfections as distressed finishes along with the metal cage mesh as an enclosure of the negative space creates an industrial approach to a luxurious princess theme from the Renaissance era.

Entering the 21st century, the postmodern succession has given way to a doom-laden, apolitical orthodoxy. This book offers suggestive readings of “the contemporary” in light of high modernity, postwar modernity, and postmodernity, as framed by the influential institutions of modern art and the spectacles of millennial architecture. Modernity without a Project critiques and connects historical avant-garde currents as they are institutionally expressed or captured, and scrutinizes the remake of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Minoru Yamasaki’s vanished Utopias, the “anarchitecture” of Lebbeus Woods, recent work of Rem Koolhaas, delirious developments in Dubai, and the unexpected contribution to architectural debate by the late Hugo Chavez

Beneath thermonuclear exchange-value lurks pacific war; displacing intercontinental nuke-spasm with catatonal K-space traversed by artificial tensions from beyond the nirvana principle. Reciprocal MAD destabilises itself upon a featureless interactively autogenerative megamolecule that extratotally outstrips the ultramodern sublime, dismantles concentrational eschatology, and depunctualises socio-historical termination across dilated time-zero continuity, K-matrix floats chatter about cities flash-fried by fusing hydrogen, whilst escalating into intelligenic replicator-weaponry, insidious drift-tactics, diffuse irritation.

QCQ 2

“The first thing one notices is that violence has been done. Then the violence turns to visual order and hopefully, then to a sense of heightened awareness” - Gordon Matta-Clark’s Anarchitecture

To break this up, I think I understand what he means. We pretty much all know violence happens, it can happen anywhere at anytime. But when it happens we all know it’s bad, so it’s not just casually accepted. When violence occurs, many of us would try to rationalize it, we ask questions. What happened? How did this happen? Why did it happed? And possibly the biggest question, how could it be prevented?

By acknowledging what has occurred, and by piecing together the information, we create an awareness of the given situation, in the hopes it could be resolved. Or if not, prevent a similar situation in the future.

So my question, if you witness or hear about tragic events, do you try to rationalize it?
