Gordon Matta-Clark

In one of Matta-Clark's works, "Reality Properties", he bought fifteen small, unused sections of land that were left over in property deals or poorly drawn architectural plans. Anything from a section of sidewalk, a part of someone's driveway, curbs and gutters were purchased. Much like his bisection of a house, he wanted to create severed structures and activate the unused areas by the manipulation of rule-based systems to achieve a different, un-intended end (to give the new, transformed structures meaning)
