Matthew Barney

Matthew Barney was born in San Francisco in 1967. When he was six years old he moved to Idaho with his family. His parents got divorced and he went to live with his father in Idaho. He will also visit his mother in New York City, where he was introduced to art and museums. In the video, I saw on 21 art website Matthew Barney considers all the things he works with attractive to him, even if it disgusts him it would still have some type of attraction. In the video, it shows him directing a film called " CREMASTER 3" in where he would use different things in order fir the film to have a meaning. Matthew Barney would create customs for the horses he uses on the project. He also made his father participate in the film he is working on. Robert Barney, his father said that Matthew Barney wanted to be a plastic surgeon before becoming an artist. Matthew Barney said "A system that has an internal object, Freudian narratives—consumer and producer, violence, sexually driven, NFL films—these are the things I think about,".

  1. I feel like the fact that you picked this artist shows your bravery and uniqueness. This is because looking up his work I was quite turned off and a little scared. Though I do respect his art and those who fall in love with it. I'd like to know how his work makes you feel or not feel ?

  3. Mathew Barney seems like the types of artist who is not afraid to express what he is attracted to, he likes to show off what work he has done to not only his loved ones but to others, so he can show his uniqueness.
