Matthew Barney - Profile

We are in the vacuum zone eingesogen another world. We are a guest in the fabled realm in which we kidnapped Matthew Barney. The artist was in 1967 in San Francisco (United States) was born and now lives and works in New York. His imagery and motifs he moved to their own figures from the world of competitive sports, medicine, mythology, mixed with some references in the art. We walk in his landscapes - often, they look barren and sterile. This encounter with the physical: the beautiful, the Sexual, the ugly, it is almost essential. Because of the cycle and the constant ups and downs of becoming and fading, but the fertilization, as a fusion of male and female, are his central theme. The characters realize they are not called humans, convert it, they have a hexer slip. Their action is of an inner urge and need-driven, its meaning and origin of ourselves as viewers often remain locked. While we often bright scenes are almost blinded, we walk in the dark. And in this Sinndunkelheit we can lose. Often we meet Barney himself in his films. He sees himself more as creating sculptures because as a filmmaker. He tells us stories in an associative märchenhaft foreign language. © ArtLogistics
