The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presents an exhibition by Matthew Barney, showing his latest video installation: SECONDARY. With this exhibition, the Fondation Cartier celebrates its collaboration with the American artist which began thirty years ago with the co-production of Barney’s first film, Cremaster 4, 1994, in what would become the artist’s iconic body of work, The CREMASTER Cycle.

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.
