Matthew Barney, Water Castings

Matthew Barney discusses the Water Castings from his most recent body of work, RIVER OF FUNDAMENT. Each Water Casting is a relic from the performance of foundry casting itself. Weighing between one and two thousand pounds each, each piece objectifies and coalesces the highly involved, fragmented process required to produce it. As Barney says, "its nature, both in terms of form and in terms of surface, come from the moment it's made."
Matthew Barney: RIVER OF FUNDAMENT is on view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA through January 18, 2016.
Cinematography: Ivan Hurzeler
Editor: Leo Hertz

1.)Basic needs are met. 2.)Time is abundant. 3.)Boredom sets in. 4)Art appears. 5) Artist "explains" his art.
1.a) basic needs are trap food. 2.a) Time becomes eternal hell. 3.a) The light of self cannot be endured/No satisfaction. 4.a) The playground of hell is created and sustained. 5.a)Hey look I'm explaining things too now.

Money doesn't seem the problem...

Yes. Irrespective of any esthetic judgement, and given that Matthew Barney, for all I know, is not collected on the scale of, for example, Koons or Hockney, I wonder what is his "financial model".
