Gordon Matta-Clark

Preview: written before the show opened

In 1973, in Genoa, Gordon Matta-Clark cut into an entire residential building for the first time. This show treats that Italian job as the starting point for his "cuttings", the series that peaked a year later when he sawed a New Jersey house in two and tilted one half back so sunlight fell into the sliced rooms.

Its full title is Not the Work... The Worker. The show follows an artist who trained as an architect, from 112 Greene Street, the artist-run space he helped run in New York, through his trips to Genoa and Milan, to his first interventions in the city and the famous cuts. Jessamyn Fiore, co-director of the artist's estate, curates it with Francesco Stocchi. You'll see his buildings mostly as photographs, collages and film, because the buildings themselves are gone.

It opens on 13 November in Galleria 4, inside Zaha Hadid's building. Tickets are €15 at the door or €14 online, under-18s go free, and MAXXI is open 11am to 7pm, Tuesday to Sunday.
