    Matthew Barney. CREMASTER 5, CREMASTER 4

    The five-part CREMASTER cycle is Matthew Barney’s cinematic masterpiece. In it, the American artist examines biological and psychological processes of formation. The Film Museum Munich presents CREMASTER 5 (1997) and CREMASTER 4 (1994/1995) from the cycle, which was not produced in chronological order.

    CREMASTER 4, 1994/1995, 42’ min

    CREMASTER 4 takes place on the mystical Isle of Man, an island in the Irish Sea, where the famous “Tourist Trophy” (TT) motorcycle race takes place annually. Barney used the opportunity to have two motorcycle teams circle the island in opposite directions.

    CREMASTER 5, 1997, 54’ 30” min

    Matthew Barney describes the last and final part of the cycle as a lyric opera of a tragic love story set against the romantic backdrop of Budapest. The main characters in the epic are the Queen of Chains and the magician and escape artist Harry Houdini.

    The American artist Barbara Kasten has created an impressive artistic oeuvre over her career spanning from the 1970s to the present. At the center of Kasten’s work are her abstract, geometric color photographs from the 1980s, which explore the interplay of light and dark and afford new spatial experiences.

A selection of the extensive retrospective will be on view in the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
