FOOD (1972): Gordon Matta-Clark’s Restaurant, Directed by Robert Frank -“This film documents the legendary SoHo restaurant and artists’ cooperative Food, which opened in 1971. Owned and operated by Caroline Goodden, Food was designed and built largely by Matta-Clark, who also organized art events and performances there. [Matta-Clark would commission artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage to create meals, many of which were unedible.] As a social space, meeting ground and ongoing art project for the emergent downtown artists’ community, Food was a landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo in the 1970s.” Watch Film on UBU.
