- Gordon Matta-Clark had a particular interest in voids, gaps, and especially abandoned space. In the case of 'Splitting', he and helpers intentionally split a house, idle, and marked for demolition, in two parts. A vertical slice now separated an old frame house in New Jersey, owned by New York art dealer Holly Solomon. A film was produced, showing Matta and his friends struggling to create a split through the center of the building.

I think that all houses look better when we let the world see them from the outside looking in. How hard is it to break open a house, even one thats been abandoned and set to be demolished? We can see it on the artists face in real time with every crank required to tilt the house back even the slightest imperciptible degree. It is an American drawing in the truest sense. Here we see these structures for what they truly are, by breaking apart the foundation and splitting the boundary between suburbia and the natural world, the sun can shine once more in a condemned and soon to be torn apart house. Splitting is life made from death because for a minute that single bedroom home, the hollowed out and casket of memories, means something once again to us even 50 years later.
