The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presents an exhibition by Matthew Barney, showing his latest video installation: SECONDARY.

The SECONDARY exhibition will take place throughout all of the Fondation Cartier’s galleries, and will show for the first time a new sculpture created for the occasion. In addition, the exhibition will include an installation of the earliest DRAWING RESTRAINT video works, providing further context for the new work.The exhibition at the Fondation Cartier is part of a sequence of unique SECONDARY shows scheduled for 2024 at the artist’s representing galleries.

The Bitch, Matthew Barney and Alex Katz (duo show)
O’Flaherty’s, New York
7 November – 15 December 2024
O’Flaherty’s, New York, presents a duo exhibition of work by Matthew Barney and Alex Katz. A gripping tale of unrelieved horror, of survival and resilience, and of the ways in which humankind confronts death, The Bitch is a masterfully crafted show, eloquently understated and epic in scope. In New York, a coastal town in North America, The Bitch begins as a series of portents, unheeded by the people. Here we have two artists who have shaped our understanding of Art. Can Barney and Katz – known for planning before spontaneously executing their work – pull off this flea-flicker? Can they be like light and shadow, giving shape to each other? This exhibition is an exercise in their master craft.
