FOOD is a short film directed by aritst/photographer Robert Frank about Gordon Matta-Clark and Carol Goodden's conceptual restaurant. Founded in 1972 in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City, FOOD brought together many factors of the local community, artists and otherwise, becoming a space for dialogue and conversation as well as a living piece in it of itself.
Matta-Clark would commission artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage to create meals, many of which were unedible.
You can read a fantastic interview regarding FOOD with sculptor Richard Nonas who was heavily involved with the restaurant.
Gordon Matta-Clark died in New York City in August of 1978

Cool. The scenes in the restaurant with all the different types of hipsters hanging out reminds me of WFMU studios during marathon time.
