A new exhibition by American artist Matthew Barney is now on display at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in China.

The exhibition includes a two-hour film, five monumental sculptures, more than 40 engravings and electroplated copper plates, and an artist-conceived catalogue.

"Redoubt" was filmed in Idaho's rugged Sawtooth Mountains, near the artist's childhood home. 

Structured as a series of six hunts, the film loosely adapts the myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Actaeon, a hunter who accidentally trespasses on her and is punished.

With "Redoubt," Barney has combined traditional casting methods with new digital technologies and created artworks with complexity both in form and in content.

The five monumental sculptures are derived from trees from a burned forest in the Sawtooth Mountains. The artist poured molten brass and copper into the trees, letting them flow through the trunk, creating unique metal castings that show the inner core of the trees. Each of the sculptures that incorporate the remains of the trees has became a record of the U.S. state of Idaho.

Born in 1967, Matthew Barney is considered one of the most ambitious and provocative artists of our time. He is known for epic projects such as the "Cremaster Cycle" and "River of Fundament."

The exhibition runs through December 15 and will move on to Hayward Gallery in London afterward.
