Mark Kramer / Gordon Matta-Clark

Office Baroque: photographic documentation_24 Interior view

1977

 


 

Wandering through my bookshelves it was hard to choose an artwork. With just as much enthusiasm I could have chosen the work of Jan Schoonhoven, Gunther Eucker or Yves Klein, but the installation Office Baroque (1977) by Gordon Matta-Clark unites all different aspects of my recent work.

I became fascinated by architectural concepts during my studies at the art academy where I was first introduced to the work of Matta-Clark. In addition, I have a great love for archeology and geology, discovering the earth by digging and drilling within a framework, uncovering matter layer by layer. Through perforation, layers appear and disappear. All of this is ultimately brought together in a powerful minimal image.
