Gordon Matta-Clark's Conical Intersect (1975) was a torqued, spiralling 'cut' into two derelict seventeenth-century Paris buildings adjacent to the construction site of the Centre Pompidou. In this book, Bruce Jenkins examines Matta-Clark's 'non-u-ment', looking closely at the artist's proposals, working process, various forms of documentation, and the dialogue begun by Matta-Clark's decision to transform two abandoned buildings into an 'act of communication'. The text is accompanied by rarely seen photographs of the construction process taken by French artist Marc Petitjean.
