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.

Published on the occasion of the 2002 exhibition Matthew Barney: The Cremaster Cycle, organized by Nancy Spector, at Museum Ludwig, Cologne (also traveled to Paris and New York). Fine. A near-mint copy. This catalogue documents Matthew Barney's eight-year Cremaster project. Beginning with work from before the Cremaster films, Nancy Spector's text (accompanied by dozens of illustrations), establishes the importance of Barney's 5 films, not only grappling with his rigorous sexual logic, but delving into the roles geography, identity and form serve in his film--and ultimately, art--cycle. Although the Cremaster cycle was made out of order (4, 1, 5, 2, 3), the book is organized numerically, featuring stills, details and plans for films 1 through 5.

Rilegato. Condition: come nuovo. Dust Jacket Condition: come nuovo. edizione illustrata. COME NUOVO, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. RARO. The definitive user's guide and then some to Matthew Barney's epic five-part epic film series, he Cremaster Cycle is filled with hundreds of Barney's fantastical images and surveys the project, which 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, a composer, costume designer, make-up artist, technicians and actors reveal his working process. A trailblazing essay by Curator of Contemporary Art Nancy Spector charts Barney's work from the 1990s to the present and provides critical insights into the aesthetic vocabulary of his five "Cremaster" films, while Neville Wakefield's "Cremaster Glossary" illuminates the films' most far-flung references with citations from sources as diverse as Freud's psychoanalytic studies, Mormon law and lore, and hardcore music fanzines. In addition to stills from the five films, including, the final episode, Cremaster 3, the book features related sculptures, photographs, drawings and storyboards. For anyone intrigued by the Wagner of contemporary art, this is an atlas to his enticingly hypnotic worlds. Barney himself collaborated on all aspects of this extraordinary publication, including the selection of over 700 images, most of them never before published. Includes personal perspectives from people involved with the films, film Credits, an exhibition history, bibliography and a screening history. The Cremaster Cycle (1994-2002) è una serie di cinque film scritti, diretti e interpretati dal genio visionario di Matthew Barney, apparsi in volontario disordine cronologico, prodotti dalla Barbara Gladstone Gallery e dal Guggenheim Museum di New York. Il risultato è un'epopea surreale, ricca di riferimenti cinematografici e letterari (da Carpenter a Poe, da Kubrick a Lovecraft, a Cronenberg) dove pezzi di storie si intrecciano e si sfiorano, dando vita ad una narrazione dai risvolti onirici e carica di immagini ambigue e misteriosamente allegoriche. Un orgia di immagini di stupefacente bellezza, un viaggio epico nell'inconscio, per esplorare le vie del desiderio e della sessualità. Un evento imperdibile che ha segnato la scena artistica contemporanea mondiale. Il Cremaster Cycle è un arcipelago di stimolazioni visive, dove ognuno dei cinque film, che lo compone, funziona da isola in cui si alternano personaggi mitologici ed enigmatici, nonché paesaggi urbani e naturali, che raccontano le vicende di un viaggio nell'universo della cultura americana, creativa e distruttiva. Siccome Cremaster è il muscolo che nei testicoli regola, in relazione alla temperatura e all'eccitazione, la reazione dei genitali maschili, l'insieme delle storie narrate riguarda l'erezione di edifici simbolici e fallici come il ChrysIer Building o la lotta tra satiri, o la penetrazione nel grembo del Guggenheim Museum, o la mutazione e l'androginia sessuale che riguardano la storia della fondazione di ogni città nova o New York . Matthew Barney (San Francisco, 25 marzo 1967) è un artista, regista e scultore statunitense.
