- Book Synopsis
- Jane Duran's Pier 52 is a poetic diptych. Its first part is a meditation on the architectural sculptures and installations of artist Gordon Matta-Clark, whose radical cuts in derelict, abandoned buildings brought revelatory light, movement, space and distance into confinement and darkness. In a second sequence, 'closed spaces, Palestine', Duran evokes the enclosures imposed by Israel on Palestinians. Here is a brave new world of barriers, surveillance and unimaginable loss, where both the entrances and exits are blocked - 'No shade here, no way through'.
