Matthew Barney - Cremaster 4 - Fondation Cartier/Gladstone Gallery

In 1995, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presented Matthew Barney first personal exhibition in Europe. The photographs, drawings, and sculptures on show were directly inspired by what was then his latest video, Cremaster 4, directed in 1994 and co-produced by the Fondation Cartier. Matthew Barney takes advantage of the intimist, suggestive nature of video to direct himself and create scenarios that skillfully mix the dramatic tension of the American horror flick with the technological and iconographic vocabulary of TV sports broadcasts.
The book was specially realised for the exhibition by Matthew Barney himself and offers a discovery—or rediscovery—of the strange and complex mythology he invented.
Foreword by James Lingwood.
