21 Robert Gober, Untitled The uncanny is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange.

22 Robert Gober, Double Sink Because the uncanny is familiar, yet strange, it often creates cognitive dissonance within the experiencing subject due to the paradoxical nature of being attracted to, yet repulsed by an object at the same time.

23 Gordon Matta-Clark, Open House, 1971 “I am interested in turning waste areas such as blocks of rubble, empty lots, dumps, etc., into beautiful and useful areas…This has not only aroused the interest of artists in learning of these areas of New Yotk, but was also very beneficial to those neighborhoods.
