Matthew Ritchie - Houston - Contemporary Arts Museum
ArtForum, Sept, 2003 by Katy Siegel
CONTEMPORARY ARTS MUSEUM
Had it with parallel worlds that demand extensive research and hairsplitting exegesis? Tough. Ritchie, the Matthew Barney of painting, is having his first museum survey, put on by CAM curator Lynn Herbert. (Herbert joins Mass MOCA'S Laura Heon in the catalogue, which also features Ritchie's own writings.) With his own cosmology informing and expanding from painting and drawing into sculpture and animated films, Richie aspires to the frosh epistemological wow and scale of the other Matthew. Still, without the reading material, in the gallery it boils down to basically cheerful, lively hardedge abstraction. Look for four new works created for the Houston space (the latest museum must-have, halfway between site-specific sculpture and monogrammed shirt). Dec. 13-Mar. 14; Mass MoCA, North Adams, MA, Apr. 10, 2004-Mar. 2005.
