from what fate and to what end

“Historical preservation” conjures many di!erent meanings, particularly with regard to the contemporary catch-phrase “neighborhood revitalization.” Gordon Matta Clark addressed associated issues in the 1970’s, performing ‘cuttings’ and film recordings around “objects to be destroyed,”preserving the last moments of a to-be-demolished buildings’ history.

In this project, I will draw on Matta Clark’s influence to create a piece that considers the contemporary condition of demolition,revitalization and preservation issues. My aim is to create a sculptural installation, a mash-up
of historical and contemporary built-spaces that examines decisions made to preserve or destroy, reify or ignore.
