A grotesque neologism, the title of «Dereconstruction,» Matthew Higgs's recent curatorial effort for Gladstone Gallery, was — according to the catalogue essay — both «a hybrid term, one that conflates notions of «construction,» «reconstruction,» «deconstruction,» and «destruction,»» and a reference to «The New Reconstructions,» Pace Gallery's 1979 exhibition of work by Lucas Samaras.
