CREMASTER 1
“Utterly original stuff.” –John Rockwell, The New York Times
In twin hovering Goodyear blimps, a woman arranges red and green grapes into geometric patterns imitated by Isaac Mizrahi-clad dancing girls on the blue astro-turfed football field below.
(U.S., 1995, 40m, 35mm)
CREMASTER 2
“A world as strangely alternate as Lewis Carroll’s … a sprawling, hallucinatory quiltwork of gorgeously shot scenes” –Steven Henry Madoff, Time
Drawing from Hollywood’s mythology of the American West, Barney tells the story of murderer Gary Gilmore (Barney) as he searches for a familial connection with
Harry Houdini (Norman Mailer) as he wanders through a glimmering-gold afterlife complete with dancing cowboys.
(U.S., 1999, 79m, 35mm)
CREMASTER 3
“Endlessly fascinating . . . Barney’s most hypnotic work yet.” –New York Magazine.
Barney’s The Entered Apprentice faces off against Chrysler Building architect Hiram Abiff (played by sculptor Richard Serra) in the Art Deco landmark, while battling punk bands, Rockette-like chorines, and a half-cheetah woman (Aimée Mullins) as he scales the atrium of the Guggenheim Museum in an interlude.
(U.S., 2002, 182m, 35mm)
CREMASTER 4
“A surreal, slapstick fantasy; sexuality turned into a bizarre vaudeville.” –Stephen Holden, New York Times.
Flame-haired goat-boy The Loughton Candidate (Barney) slowly taps his way through an eroding floor into the sea, as competing color-coded motorcycle teams set off in opposite directions to circle the Isle of Man.
(U.S., 1994, 42m, 35mm)
CREMASTER 5
“A ravishing stretch of cinema... rich and quite, quite strange.” –David Frankel, Artforum
Ursula Andress (DR. NO) stars as the Queen of Chain, the sole audience for a lush operatic spectacle performed by the Budapest Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra within a grand 19th century opera house, accompanied by faeries, a magician (Barney on horseback), various attendants of unspecified gender and species, and a bevy of live pigeons.
(U.S., 1997, 54m, 35mm)
