On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, a temporary exhibition will be on view for the first time on the construction site of berlin modern from 10 to 13 September 2026: Neue Nationalgalerie presents five selected works by Gordon Matta-Clark, one of the most influential artists of the 1970s. They will be shown in one of the central exhibition spaces of the new Museum of 20th-Century Art, berlin modern, which is currently being built in Berlin.
The exhibition features central pieces from the most vital period of his oeuvre in the 1970s, including Clockshower (1973), Splitting (1974), Conical Intersect (1975), City Slivers (1976), and Office Baroque (1977) — realized in New York, Paris, and Antwerp, among others. Most prominently presented is Conical Intersect, a site-specific work with the Centre Pompidou still under construction in the background. The work was part of the Paris Biennale in 1975. Presented in this homage-like exhibition, his work creates a striking encounter with the artist's unique and radical approach that inspires generations of artists until today.
The exhibition is curated by Klaus Biesenbach, Director of Neue Nationalgalerie, with Ricarda Bergmann.
