A joining of two artists, exploring their shared fixation on the problematics of architecture, language, institutions, scale, and value '[The exhibition is] powerful and unhinged and overbuilt-a monument to the entropy of the postindustrial city, and the tenuous dance of its inhabitants.' - The New York Times Gordon Matta-Clark and Pope.L are esteemed for their respective interdisciplinary practices that examine the value and paradoxes of urban life as well as the risk inherent in art making. Utilizing performance, film, drawing, and various multimedia projects, the two artists often open up interstitial spaces by realizing sweeping gestures that take into account shifting, decentralized zones. Grounded in the concept of failure, the sixth exhibition at 52 Walker and its accompanying catalogue reconsider societal, artistic, and structural failure-and in its expression a consideration of hope. With an introduction by the curator and director of 52 Walker Ebony L. Haynes, this publication also includes a conversation piece between Haynes, the artist Pope.L, and the director of LAXART, Hamza Walker, that discusses the visual, material, and conceptual similarities between Pope.L's and Gordon Matta-Clark's work and what it means to treat the possibilities of failure as an artistic medium. About Clarion The Clarion series of illustrated publications is positioned as an extension of each exhibition at the groundbreaking gallery space 52 Walker, curated by Ebony L. Haynes. The program focuses on showcasing conceptual and research-based artists from a range of backgrounds and at various stages in their careers. The series title is derived from the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' Workshop, the oldest of its kind, at the University of California, San Diego. Octavia Butler attended this workshop in the 1970s. Butler's writing has been influential in the conceptual framework of the program and the Clarion series. With a sleek design influenced by encyclopedias, each publication features color reproductions of the works on view, alongside an introduction by Haynes, commissioned essays, artist texts, archival materials, and more.
