Circus : The Caribbean Orange

Gordon Matta-Clark, Judith Russi Kirshner

Circus : The Caribbean Orange

description

Artist's book / documentation of Gordon Matta-Clark's first museum-sponsored project, entitled Circus or The Caribbean Orange. The project took place in an abandoned mid-town Chicago brownstone, and like the artist's past works, consisted of a metamorphosis of the tenement house. Working within limitations set by the physical building and architectural concerns, Matta-Clark devised and executed a series of circular cuts into the brownstone. The book includes numerous duotone photographs of the project, reproduced diagrams of the artist's plans, and an introduction by Judith Russi Kirshner, curator. Matta-Clark died on August 27, 1978, as the book was going to press.
