CREMASTER ANATOMIES: Beiträge zu Matthew Barneys CREMASTER Cycle aus den Wissenschaften von Kunst, Theater und Literatur

In exhibition settings, the »CREMASTER Cycle« by Matthew Barney turns out to be a medial hybrid, constructed from films, objects, photos, and drawings. The Cycle is only created by a gaze wandering around between the diachronicity of the film-narration and the synchronicity of the exhibition setting - the viewer completes the work himself with his path through the exhibition. »CREMASTER« remains a work in progress. In this volume, contributions from art, film, and theater studies boldly give their respective disciplinary perspectives on forms of media convergence in Barney' s work. They focus on processes of meandering perception. Contributions on other works and performances by Barney provide outlooks on further aspects of his aesthetics.
