Filled with hundreds of Matthew Barney's fantastical images, this comprehensive volume, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, surveys the popular artist's CREMASTER cycle—an epic five-part film project that uses the biological model of sexual difference as its conceptual departure point.
Three essays by Barney experts articulate the series' diverse themes and explore the artist's innovative aesthetic vocabulary; interviews with key collaborators— composer, costume designer, make-up artist, technicians, and actors—reveal his working process. In addition to stills from the five films—including the final episode, CREMASTER 3, which will premiere at the exhibition—the book features related sculptures, photographs, drawings, and storyboards. For anyone intrigued by this Wagner of contemporary art, this is an atlas to his enticingly hypnotic worlds.

Six color frontispieces. "Matthew Barney's five-part Cremaster cycle is a self-enclosed aesthetic system. Born out of a performance practice in which the human body - with its psychic drives and physical thresholds - symbolizes the potential of sheer creative force, the cycle explodes this body into the particles of a contemporary creation myth. Since its inception in 1994, the Cremaster cycle has unfolded in time as well as space to render visible some of the processes by which form - in its biological, psychological and geological states - comes to be. Barney's visual language is protean: drawing and film unite to engender photography and sculpture, which, in turn, produce more drawing and film, in an incestuous intermingling of materials that defies any hierarchy of artistic mediums." (Spector). Published on the occasion of the exhibition Matthew Barney: The CREMASTER Cycle, exhibited in Cologne, Paris and New York. Profusely illustrated with color photographs and drawings in five parts. Contains list of works in Cremaster Cycle, selected exhibition and screening history at rear.
