Alist of OPTImISmabOve three things emerged: space, time and each other.When those three coincide, it seems, something remarkable can happen. all IS vITal Of this trio, the first twocost money. Especially space. The problem in many great cities nowisthat young artists can’t FORCReaTIvITy afford to liveinthem. So think back to this: in the early 1970s, the artist Gordon Matta- Clark, part of the nowlegendarydowntown NewYork scene, cut up buildings. Yes, whole buildings, abandoned properties bought at auction for $50-$100.
