Gordon Matta-Clark was an American artist best known for his site-specific artworks he made in the 1970s. He is famous for his "building cuts," a series of works in abandoned buildings in which he variously removed sections of floors, ceilings, and walls. Matta-Clark performed in "Soup & Tart," a marathon performance soiree organized by multimedia artist Jean Dupuy at the Kitchen in 1974. His film, "Freshkill" was shown posthumously at The Kitchen in 1979. Matta-Clark died from pancreatic cancer on August 27, 1978.
