Matthew Barney at the Hirshhorn

lol @ all the coughs. wtf.

[jgiuffra1]

just get on with it fer fooks sake

[SWISSCOLORVISION]

More coughing than a studio full of syrup sipping rappers; some of the most simply amazing hacking and phlegm I've ever heard. The rumor is Barney hired a bunch of actors to cough and choke the whole way through, creating a spontaneous work to reflect the outer sterilization and inner contamination of the human physique...

The whole effect: 12:30, as just one of the numerous examples, made to upset the audience and viewer; as well as the constant annoying moving and touching of the microphones

This man needs to work on his public speaking... And not... Leave... uh... So many... pauses.

[koreankayagum]

I hate museums and everything about them.

[andreAacOol]

you guys consume it all

[disCrowe]

I just can take him seriously.

I tried it.

I went to the exhibition at the German Guggenheim.

I have seen the movies and other Installations.

How can one as an artist just take so much from others and put it together in a such banal and logical way and make everyone being able to follow "the idea".

Far, far, far too thin!

We are all sensible people Mr. Barney.

[peterphilip]

matthew barney's ideas are no more interesting than alex jones's... he should concentrate on aesthetic and quit jizzing all over us with his cremasonry

[jasperdrak]

the misuse of the term 'performative' by pseudo-intellectuals makes cringe...

[nycpntr]
