Matthew Barney

Matthew Barney works in film, video, photography, drawing, installation and sculpture, as well as sound. This catalogue, produced in collaboration with the artist, documents works from the world-famous Goetz Collection in Munich--spanning from early sculptural and performance pieces beginning in 1992 through the artist's most recent work in digital media. As in his 2003 retrospective at New York's Guggenheim Museum, Barney's Goetz Collection exhibition presents all five Cremaster films, with sound, simultaneously, thus turning the series into an installation that addresses all of the human senses.
This volume contains an introductory essay by Stephan Urbaschek; a text on the use of sound in Barney's work by Brandon Stosuy; interviews with the artist and his composer, Jonathan Bepler; a text on Cremaster 1 through 5 by Domenika Szope; a summary of Drawing Restraint 9 and a glossary by Karsten Löckemann; and a select bibliography and exhibition checklist by Katharina Vossenkuhl.
