Curator Rozalind Drummond on the exhibition:
I’ve been reading about Gordon Matta-Clark and how he liked to draw trees. Years before climate change became an urgent matter of global concern, Matta-Clark called attention to nature’s cycles, to growth and movement. Trees were shelters, places to hold performances or dance events such as ‘Tree Dance’ a performance at Vassar College, in upstate New York in 1971. Here, he hung several rope sacks and swings in the crowns of two adjacent trees connected by rope ladders. Playing with the idea of an alternative, natural living environment, he invited friends to move between the trees and utilize them as temporary dwellings whether as habitats for dwelling or as emptied out structures. The forms become alternative housing models and other speculative territories and are all about habitation and the flow, movement and energy of bodies moving through spatial territories. Space is the context we inhabit. The works selected visually tease out some of these relationships to connect elements between disparate forms and structures and those of the body in space.
