Matthew Barney is synonymous with big production artworks; so, too, is David Walsh, who has created a world-renowned museum around a very individual vision. It is not surprising that there is a sympatico to MONA’s next exhibition-come-event.

Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) will exclusively present the Australian debut of American artist Barney’s latest multi-dimensional project, River of Fundament, opening 22 November and continuing through 13 April 2015.
