There is a small exhibition at the MCA right now featuring photos of an apartment building due for renovation in Chicago that the MCA commissioned a piece by Matta Clark. I first came aquainted with Clark's work when he had a retrospective at the Whitney. I was a bit suspect at first, I wasn't sure if it was great art just by the size of the gesture. That show stayed with me for years though.
What is so inspiring about is work is the play of view points and vantages that used to completely change the way a building is read. Rarely has anything ever felt so three-dimensional. And it touches on the more heroic tendencies of larger work, and at the same time has an ability to undermine the idea of house, and the solidity. Clearly these places are no longer structuraly sound, and yet they still feel vast and solid.
The work of Marjan Teeuwen reminds me very much of his work.
