“The most important artist of his generation.”- Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times Magazine
“Amoung the best art- in any medium- in recent memory.”- Doug Harvey, LA Weekly
Matthew Barney’s legendary Cremaster Cycle was hailed by the New York Times as “An inspired benchmark of ambition, scope and forthright provocation for art in the new century.” Nine years in the making, the five films that comprise the Cremaster Cycle come to a brilliant grand finale with a 31 minute sequence at the close of Cremaster 3 called THE ORDER.
In THE ORDER, a death-defying race to the top of the Guggenheim Museum, Matthew Barney is a tartan-clad apprentice seeking Masonic redemption. Before taking on legendary sculptor Richard Serra, who tosses molten Vaseline down the Guggenheim’s ramps, Barney must bypass a troupe of tap-dancing girlscouts, a pair of dueling hardcore bands, a ravishing model who transforms herself into a cheetah, and a cabor toss with a flayed ram in a dizzying mirror to the artist’s fantastical CREMASTER CYCLE.
The Music from THE ORDER, by Jonathan Bepler, has been remixed in 5.1 surround.
