Matthew Barney
Matthew Barney (b. 1967, San Francisco, California) Matthew Barney is a pioneering American contemporary artist known for his groundbreaking work across sculpture, performance, film, and installation. After studying at Yale University (B.A., 1989), Barney quickly rose to international prominence in the 1990s for his physically demanding performances and highly symbolic, multimedia environments that explore themes of transformation, mythology, sexuality, and identity. He is best known for The Cremaster Cycle (1994–2002), a five-part film project that fuses cinema, sculpture, drawing, and installation into a total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk), widely regarded as one of the most ambitious and original bodies of work in contemporary art. His films are marked by surreal narratives, elaborate prosthetics, and a highly stylized visual language rooted in biology, sports, mysticism, and ritual. Barney’s work defies easy categorization and often requires interdisciplinary engagement. Drawing as much from Joseph Beuys and Richard Serra as from bodybuilding, medical science, and classical opera, Barney constructs alternate mythologies that are both personal and universal. Major solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, among others. His films have been screened in prestigious venues such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Whitney Museum. Barney currently lives and works in New York.

Anna Harley is a professional fine art screen-printer, making prints at Spike Print Studio in Bristol. She has a Masters Degree in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking and lives in South Bristol. Her handmade prints are produced in limited editions, so each print is an original artwork, not a reproduction of an artwork made in a different medium. She says, "the screenprinting process suits my practice, because it allows me to build images in fine layers of ink, printing layer upon layer until I am happy with the final print. I use a combination of drawing, digital photography and objects directly exposed on the screen, to create these individual layers. I enjoy the tension this creates in my images – is the print based on a drawing or photograph? Is it attached fabric, pencil marks or ink? While engaged in the creative process, I try to stay open minded about how the finished print will look, to allow the print to make itself – print is an extremely process led way of making art and allowing the unexpected to happen and taking advantage of these happy accidents allows the work to stay fresh and exciting." She is inspired by how it feels to be outside, tree silhouettes, passing seasons, the weather, and the sky and how it changes from sunrise to evening. "I love things that sparkle and twinkle. I often use metallic pigments and, in a move that fully embraced my inner kitsch, I have recently made a snow print using white glitter. " Anna’s work is rooted within the Landscape tradition, while the fabric textures in her prints are an echo of her Scandinavian Arts and Crafts...
