banquethall: [Video: FOOD (1972) by Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978). Watch the film here.] 972, 43 min, b&w, sound, 16 mm film on video 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. 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.
