The De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea on the south coast of England will present Gordon Matta-Clark: Discrete Violations, a major exhibition dedicated to the American artist best known for radical interventions into buildings.
The exhibition will feature his sculpture, photography, film, works on paper, and photomontage with particular attention given to his signature "building cuts".
Ned McConnell, the head of visual arts at the De La Warr Pavilion, says: "The cuts are what people know, but what the archive reveals is someone who was interrogating architecture as a social and political condition long before he picked up a saw."
The show will be presented in the modernist pavilion designed by Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and opened in 1935.
The exhibition is due to open on October 10 and run until January 4, 2027.
