21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa
21 May – 11 September 2022

This exhibition will focus on the theme of the film Drawing Restraint 9 (2005) by Matthew Barney, who has developed the theme of Japanese culture as represented by the practices of whaling and the tea ceremony using a variety of media including film, sculpture, installation, and photography. Taking the whaling mother ship Nisshin Maru, which appears in the film as both a place and a character, the exhibition will feature Drawing Restraint 9: Cabinet of Nisshin Maru, a work in Barney’s character vitrine series, alongside six photographic works.

TechnoCool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001) (group show)
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
27 October 2023 – 11 February 2024
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.
