Matthew Barney: RIVER OF FUNDAMENT is organized by Haus der Kunst, Munich in collaboration with the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Tasmania and curated by Okwui Enwezor. Overall, the works in the exhibition intertwine history and mythology with the contemplation of fundamental human drives-such as sex, violence, and power-that have continuously propelled civilizations. Founded in 1993, the Astrup Fearnley Museet is one of Scandinavia´s most notable museums for contemporary art. The exhibition also includes Barney’s Water Castings, a new group of sculptures on view for the first time. The presentation at MOCA comprises the epic length, operatic film and approximately 85 works inspired by or made in conjunction with the film, including large-scale sculptures weighing up to 25 tons, drawings, and storyboards. The film, written by Barney in collaboration with composer Jonathan Bepler, tells a story of regeneration and rebirth inspired by Ancient Evenings (1983), Norman Mailer’s sprawling, provocative novel set in ancient Egypt. Topographical expanses that map the geopolitical complexities of US cities by Mark Bradford and Julie Mehretu are shown alongside imaginary worlds created by Matthew Barney and Cao Fei, whose installations bring about a collision of reality and fantasy to alleviate the strictures imposed by urban spaces. River of Fundament (2014) is one of Barney’s most challenging and ambitious projects to date, and his largest filmic undertaking since the renowned, five-part CREMASTER film cycle (1994-2002).
