Anthology Film Archives | 32 Second Avenue, New York

Above, Below & Around: Films of Gordon Matta-Clark explores the connections between the work of Matta-Clark and a circle of contemporaneous New York artists and filmmakers working with subjects and materials that influenced and inspired one another. This program features the very first screening with English subtitles of Matta-Clark's Sous-sols de Paris (1977), followed by a Q&A with Jessamyn Fiore and filmmakers Jane Crawford and Robert Fiore.

Other films in the program: Matta-Clark's Splitting (1974); RoBert Smithson and Nancy Holt's Swamp (1971); Landscape for Fire and Landscape for White Squares (both 1972), Anthony McCall's sculptural performances in a landscape grid; Ken Jacobs's training in spatial disorientation, Airshaft (1967) and Let There Be Whistleblowers (2005); and the gravity and entropy of Smithson's Partially Buried Woodshed, as documented by Jane Crawford and Robert Fiore (2004); and Joseph Cornell's early work, Gnir Rednow (1955) about NYC's elevated subway train and subway systems (above and below).
