Filled with hundreds of Matthew Barney's arresting, fantastical images, this comprehensive volume--which accompanies a major international exhibition--is the first to survey the artist's entire Cremaster cycle, an epic, five-part film project that uses the biological model of sexual difference as its conceptual departure point. Nancy Spector explores the cycle's themes and aesthetic achievements; Neville Wakefield provides a guide to the films' richly arcane vocabulary; and Barney's key collaborators--composer, costume designer, make-up artist, technicians, and actors--provide texts that reveal his working process. With a wealth of film stills and other illustrations, this is a crucial companion to the film cycle.

Seller's Description:
Like New (removed from publisher's wrap to inspect; light wear to dustjacket) White cloth boards w/ silver illustrations; silver spine printing. book xv, 522 pgs w/ bw & color illustrations. acetate printed dustjacket. CREMASTER 1 (1995) is a musical revue performed on the blue Astroturf playing field of Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho-Barney's hometown. CREMASTER 2 (1999) is rendered as a gothic Western that introduces conflict into the system. On the biological level it corresponds to the phase of fetal development during which sexual division begins. CREMASTER 3 (2002) is set in New York City and narrates the construction of the Chrysler Building, which is in itself a character-host to inner, antagonistic forces at play for access to the process of (spiritual) transcendence. CREMASTER 4 (1994) adheres most closely to the project's biological model. This penultimate episode describes the system's onward rush toward descension despite its resistance to division. The logo for this chapter is the Manx triskelion-three identical armored legs revolving around a central axis. Set on the Isle of Man, the film absorbs the island's folklore as well as its more recent incarnation as host to the Tourist Trophy motorcycle race. When total descension is finally attained in CREMASTER 5 (1997), it is envisioned as a tragic love story set in the romantic dreamscape of late-nineteenth-Century Budapest. The film is cast in the shape of a lyric opera. Biological metaphors shifted form to inhabit emotional states-longing and despair-that become musical leitmotivs in the orchestral score. The opera's primary characters-the Queen of Chain (played by Ursula Andress) and her Diva, Magician, and Giant (all played by Barney)-enact collectively the final release promised by the project as a whole. --WorldCat.

Includes personal perspectives from people involved with the films, film credits, an exhibition history, bibliography and a screening history. 524 pp., with hundreds of color reproductions and numerous color reference illustrations, extraordinarily well-printed by Dr. Cantz'sche Druckerei, Ostfildern-Ruit. 12-1/2 x 9 inches.

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.
