Short Term Eternity brings together two artists—Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978, USA) and Anu Vahtra (1982, Estonia)—whose practices are related to each other in many ways, even if they were born in different times and locations. The aim of the book is not just to compare their work, but to describe the circling of ideas and strategies in the art world from a non-hierarchical perspective. The book was produced on the occasion of Gordon Matta-Clark: Anarchitect. Anu Vahtra: Completion through removal, an exhibition at the Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, 22 February–8 June,2019, curated by Sergio Bessa, Jessamyn Fiore, and Anu Allas.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, 2 October–2 November, 1969, which showcased works by Italian artists Mario Ceroli, Jannis Kounellis, Gino Marotta, and Pino Pascali.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Sherrie Levine/Joost van Oss: Sculpture at Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, 23 October–4 December, 1999.

Sherrie Levine and Joost van Oss’s collaborative exhibition consisted of an installation of two sculptures inspired by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld — Berlin Chair (1923) and End Table (1923). Each sculpture consists of a set of 24 steel units. Arranged in a grid, the formation of these sculptures recalls the programmatic dispersal of 54 vertical cedar units in Carl Andre’s Flanders Field (1978) and Donald Judd’s large-scale floor pieces.
