Some Seriously Twisted Stuff - The Cremaster Cycle
Published on May 13, 2003
Visited last weekend the Guggenheim Museum to check out Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle. Much talked about — but much less understood — Barney’s epic (1994-2002) is a self-enclosed aesthetic system consisting of five feature-length films that explore processes of creation. I won’t talk about the meaning of his work (I am not sure I understand it), but the visual stuff is the work of some seriously twisted mind. I have the suspicion that Giuliani isn’t amused. Check out Barney’s Cremaster.net for more info.
