Published on the occasion of the exhibitionns in White Columns, New York 09.09-15.10.2005, and Queens Museum of Art, New York 11.09.2005-22.01.2006. In the summer of 1973, artist Gordon Matta-Clark discovered that the city of New York occasionally auctioned improbably tiny and frequently inaccessible parcels of land created by zoning eccentricities. Fascinated by these spaces, he bought 15 of them (14 in Queens, and 1 in Staten Island) for between $25 and $75 each, photographed them, and collated the photographs with the appropriate deeds and maps. He called the project Fake Estates.
