Museum Brandhorst, Munich

offline

Work by Matthew Barney is included in the group exhibition Future Bodies from a Recent Past – Sculpture, Technology, and the Body since the 1950s, which will be on view at the Museum Branhorst in Munich from 2 June 2022 until 15 January 2023.

This exhibition brings to life a hitherto little-noticed phenomenon in art, and more particularly in sculpture: the reciprocal interpenetration of body and technology. With more than 100 works and several large-scale installations by about 60 artists – primarily from Europe, the United States, and Japan – the exhibition focuses on the major technological changes since World War II and their influence on our ideas of the body.

Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 5 is included in Technocool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001). The exhibition explores the ways in which the revolutionising spirit of electronic music, DJ culture, and the new visuality of parties served as key inspiration for a generation of artists who started their career in the 1990s. Alongside Hungarian artists, Technocool also presents work by foreign artists who exerted a major influence in Hungary in this period. The displayed works showcase the development of different media – paintings, readymades, photographs, prints, videos and, to a lesser extent, computer-based art – as a new opportunity for self-expression during the nineties.
