"For its "Property" issue, Cabinet has chosen to revisit this characteristically rich and conceptually elegant project. The magazine's research revealed that the 14 pieces of land reverted to municipal control after Matta-Clark's death because the annual taxes on them were not paid, and that as of earlier this year, 10 of the Queens lots were still owned by the City. The magazine has now applied to the City of New York to secure leases to these 10 properties and intends eventually to purchase some or all of them outright. In the meantime, we are presenting what we expect to be the first of several installments of "Odd Lots," an ongoing series of imaginary projects from contemporary artists—in this case Jimbo Blachly, Matthew Northridge, and Clara Williams—commissioned by Cabinet for the various sites."
