Join Jessamyn Fiore and Lucas Zwirner for a conversation on artists' legacies and oral history projects and a guided tour of the exhibition Gordon Matta-Clark: Energy & Abstraction (on view through October 24).
Jessamyn Fiore is co-director of the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark with her mother, Jane Crawford, the artist's widow. Fiore curated the gallery's current exhibition, as well as Gordon Matta-Clark: Above and Below (2013) and 112 Greene Street: The Early Years (1970–1974) (2011), which was the basis for her critically acclaimed book of the same title, released in 2012. This extensively researched and historically important publication brought together a number of works that were exhibited at the seminal space (including works by Gordon Matta-Clark, Tina Girouard, Suzanne Harris, Jene Highstein, Larry Miller, Alan Saret, and Richard Serra); interviews with many of the artists involved in the venue; and a timeline of all the activity at 112 Greene Street in the early years. Read more about the book in Randy Kennedy's article inThe New York Times. At present, Fiore is the curator of the Jean-Paul Najar Foundation opening in Dubai in November 2015.
Lucas Zwirner is Editor at David Zwirner Books. Since 2014, he has been working on the Jason Rhoades Oral History Project, for which he has interviewed over fifty artists, curators, friends, collaborators, art historians, and others who knew the artist. A selection of these interviews will be part of the forthcoming book, Jason Rhoades: PeaRoeFoam, due out later this year.
