When we move through the world we are constantly adjusting our bodies in relationship to space. I began to understand this dynamic through dance, where the body is constantly vibrating against architecture and other bodies redefining itself. In my paintings I use this as a starting point to open a discussion on audience and scale.

The exhibition video includes scenes from the 30-minute live performance Bolero Bordello – Berlin Rhapsody,which took place as part of the current exhibition Bolero Bordello at Capitain Petzel. Surrounded by paintings,objects, and architectural gestures, the performance transformed the gallery into an active stage, blurring theboundaries between installation, choreography, and concert.With Matthew Lutz-Kinoy and PRICE.

Lives and works in Paris, France
Matthew Lutz-Kinoy works at the intersection of performance, installation, and painting. His practice explores the interaction between body and space, often drawing on dance or theater as reference points. By transforming scenes, objects, and environments, he creates poetic, sometimes surreal visual worlds where reality and fiction intertwine.
Lutz-Kinoy’s solo exhibitions include The Kitchen and Dia Beacon, New York; Cranford Collection, London; Museum Frieder Burda | Salon Berlin; Vleeshal, Middelburg; Le Consortium, Dijon; and MoMA PS1, New York. His work has also been featured in institutional group exhibitions at Singer Laren Museum; Luma Westbau, Zürich; Z33, Hasselt; Aïshti Foundation, Beirut; Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris; Kunsthalle Zürich; FRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA, Bordeaux; Sharjah Biennial; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
His work is held in collections including ADN Collection; Aïshti Foundation; Collection Consortium Museum; Cranford Collection; FRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA; Homestead Museum; KADIST Foundation; Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris; Rennie Collection; S.M.A.K.
