Re: David Rimanelli
David, I'm overstepping, but you might want to consider viewing musstudies7.shtml in person for a possible entry. I saw it yesterday, and it's pretty cool in its context. Really liked (finally) seeing the 1956-57 Sweeny/Duchamp broadcast too.
Cocktails in Philadelphia are an option, even.

Re: Anthony Vidler on Gordon Matta-Clark
I really don't know enough about Matta-Clark to answer your question. Vidler provides a very good 'genealogy' of Matta-Clark's architectural background, and perhaps what Matta-Clark found and exposed is a large part of architecture's and architecture education's vulnerable, pink and soft underbelly. [Trust me, that underbelly is still there, and even pinker and fatter these days.]
Beyond that, I'm honestly jealous of Matta-Clark being Duchamp's godson! Some people have all the luck. Then again, I did tear out a quondam termite infested baseboard in my mother's basement on Tuesday.
