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.
