Pier 52 (#4)

Gordon Matta-Clark studied architecture at Cornell University in the late 1960s but abandoned it as a career, preferring 'destructuring' to creating a structure. "We were thinking more about metaphoric voids, gaps, left-over spaces, places that were not developed... metaphoric in the sense that their interest wasn't in their possible use... It's like juggling with syntax or disintegrating some kind of established sequence of parts". (In: 'Gordon Matta-Clark', Valencia 1992, p.363.)
