From November 16, 2023, to February 10, 2024, von Bartha presents I Cut The Hairs On My Head Yesterday But…,  a solo exhibition by Landon Metz (*1985). The US-American artist’s  practice revolves around philosophical inquiry, most often realized  through painting—yet for this exhibition in Basel, the autodidactic  artist presents all new work in a six-part installation.

Each piece is composed of a subtle performative gesture, isolated  from the periphery of his research into the fundamentals of our  experience. Balanced at the intersection of performance, sound, video,  photography, poetry, sculpture, and painting, I Cut The Hairs On My Head Yesterday But…  is his most intrinsic and intimate work to date, exploring the  conceptual foundation beyond medium specificity. Sensitively articulated  by the remarkably everyday life in and around his Tribeca studio and  home in Brooklyn Heights, he invites the audience to reflect on a grand  proposition: the nature of being. 

Metz (*1985) lives and works in Brooklyn and Manhattan, New York, United States.
