New Openings Against Old Surfaces: On Gordon Matta-Clark’s Walls Paper is an exhibition at Printed Matter, Inc., the first devoted to the publishing output of artist Gordon Matta-Clark, with a focus on his 1973 project Walls Paper. It is curated by Keith Gray and Hannah Marshall for Printed Matter, organized with the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark and the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, and presented as part of Printed Matter's 50th Anniversary programming. The show examines the 1973 Buffalo Press publication, which gathers photographs of crumbling interior walls of half-demolished tenement buildings in the South Bronx and Lower East Side, overprinted with hazy neons and bisected to form two booklets in one. On view are archival materials including documentary photos, test prints, uncut printer sheets, a hand-cut notebook, and the layout for the never-realized proposal Quadrille, alongside two newly-created commissions from contemporary artists.
