WCMA Director Pam Franks will lead a discussion with artist Matthew Barney after a screening of his film “Redoubt” at Mass MoCA. Set in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountain range, this feature-length film layers classical, cosmological, and American myths about humanity’s place in the natural world, continuing Barney’s long-standing focus on landscape as both setting and subject. Redoubt adapts the myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Actaeon, a hunter who trespasses on her and is punished — a story of guns, hunting, and wolves in the wild.
