Laurie Anderson, Trisha Brown, Gordon Matta-Clark
Pioneers of the Downtown Scene, New York 1970s

Matta-Clark made a great piece of art when he cut in half a house because it was like sculpting a city, or just drawing a line in the space of the city. This show is a good one like public art galleries should put on: it is instructive about non-ubiquitous artists. Some of the stuff is junk, but you do get a feel for 1970s new york. Lets hear it for London, a similar better place.
