The Facts
On November 6, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler outlined Matthew Barney's global program. A solo exhibition centered on Redoubt (2018) opened October 31, 2026, at Winsing Art Place in Taipei, running through March 1, 2027. In New York, River of Fundament (2014) will be screened at Masonic Hall with a live music intervention and a discussion at Public Records. Barney's early video SCABACTION (1988) is featured in the 16th Gwangju Biennale. His work is also included in group shows at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Hamburger Bahnhof, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo's new Venice location, and Fondation Cartier. Barney was also elected an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
The Signal
The breadth of venues—from the Gwangju Biennale to Fondation Cartier—signals sustained institutional interest across generations and geographies. The rare New York screening of River of Fundament and his election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters underscore his canonical status, while projects like SECONDARY and ZONE DEFENSE highlight his ongoing engagement with endurance and mythology.
