Covers the brief but groundbreaking career of the self-proclaimed
'anarchitect' Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978), one of the most
influential American artists of the 1970s. The immense ambition and
scale of Gordon Matta-Clark's projects, and their fearless
reimagining of the urban landscape, challenged city-dwellers to
reconsider the very notion of built structure and the fragility of
seemingly unassailable edifices. Matta-Clark's first interventions
took place in abandoned, derelict structures, upon which he
performed his famous 'building cuts' and 'intersects'. First
published in 2008 (for a show at SMS Contemporanea in Siena), and
organised thematically and chronologically, this substantial volume
looks at these and other bodies of work, such as the Food
restaurant, the performances, the 'estates' and the artist's
pursuit of alternative economical housing. The catalogue also
includes a filmography and critical essays, plus an interview done
by Judith Russi Kirshner in 1978. Text in English and Italian.
This book presents a series of challenging mathematical problems
which arise in the modeling of Non-Newtonian fluid dynamics. It
focuses in particular on the mathematical and physical modeling of
a variety of contemporary problems, and provides some results. The
flow properties of Non-Newtonian fluids differ in many ways from
those of Newtonian fluids. Many biological fluids (blood, for
instance) exhibit a non-Newtonian behavior, as do many naturally
occurring or technologically relevant fluids such as molten
polymers, oil, mud, lava, salt solutions, paint, and so on. The
term "complex flows" usually refers to those fluids presenting an
"internal structure" (fluid mixtures, solutions, multiphase flows,
and so on). Modern research on complex flows has increased
considerably in recent years due to the many biological and
industrial applications.
