http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4A5ybTAOWw& Gordon Matta-Clark died thirty years ago. He stayed in Antwerp for a while in 1977, just before he died, working with Florent Bex, creating Office Baroque, which he called anarchitecture. Pieces of his "building cuts" were sold around the world[1].

I like him, much as I like the near-contemporary and also short-lived Robert Smithson. Whither now, anarchitecture, and other visionary environments?
