Anthology Film Archives | 32 Second Avenue, New York Sunday, April 21, 7:30 PM Film screenings Anthology Film Archives will host a film program exploring 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 will feature the very first screening with English subtitles of Matta-Clark’s Sous-sols de Paris (1977), and will be followed by a Q&A with Jessamyn Fiore and filmmakers Jane Crawford and Robert Fiore. The program also features 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). The program also includes Joseph Cornell’s early work, Gnir Rednow (1955), whose focus on New York City’s elevated train and subway systems (above & below) rhyme with Matta-Clark’s investigations.

This tribute will take the form of a temporary restaurant where the history and legacy of FOOD will be celebrated. A meeting space, a restaurant, and a total work of art, FOOD was driven by the energy of the people that ran it and those who gathered there. In the same spirit, FOOD 1971/2013 will be both a restaurant and performance stage where each day a different artist will be invited to cook in a convivial environment.
