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.
