En novembre 1973, Gordon Matta-Clark est invité par le conservateur de la Galleriaforma, Paolo Minetti, à exposer à Gênes. Minetti lui offre la possibilité de travailler dans un bâtiment de plain-pied abritant des bureaux pour ingénieurs, qui est sur le point d’être démoli. Connu pour intervenir dans des bâtiments en les « découpant », afin d’instaurer un dialogue entre art et architecture, Matta-Clark retire, à l’aide d’une grue, un carré au centre du toit pyramidal. Les faisceaux angulaires de lumière qui pénétraient dans la maison ont alors servi d’indicateurs pour découper les murs intérieurs (Datum Cuts).
Ce projet - baptisé A W-Hole House - fut alors présenté à la Galleriaforma en exposant à la fois des pans de murs découpés et des photographies in situ prises par l'artiste.
In November 1973, Gordon Matta-Clark was invited by the Galleriaforma's curator, Paolo Minetti, to exhibit in Genoa. Minetti offered him the opportunity to work on a one-floor building housing offices for engineers, which was about to be demolished. Known to interfere on buildings by "cutting" them in order to create a conversation between art and architecture, Matta-Clark removed - using a crane - a square in the center of the pyramidal roof. Angular light rays that entered the house were then used as indicatos for cutting the interior walls (Datum Cuts).
This projetc - titled A W-Hole House - was then presented at the Galleriaforma showing cuts sections of walls and in situ photographs taken by the artist together.
