Anderson, Brown, Matta-Clark : The Downtown Scene

3 Mar-22 May 2011

Overview

Performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson, choreographer Trisha Brown and artist Gordon Matta-Clark were friends and active participants in the New York art community, working fluidly between visual art and performance. This exhibition is the first major presentation to examine the experimental and often daring approaches taken by these three key figures, both individually and collectively.Featuring sculptures, drawings, photographs, documentation of performances and mixed media works, the exhibition focuses on the intersections between their practices and explores their shared concerns – performance, the body, the urban environment and found spaces.
