Cremaster Cycle
(Matthew Barney/1994 - 2002)
(Friday 9th - Sun 11th and Tue 13th - Thur 15th)
(Double bills £4/£3 each screening or £5 for both/
Cremaster 3 £4/£3/Whole run £12/£10)
"Watch out everyone - it's coming! Take cover all those who think that movies are shrink-wrapped 90-minute modules, things you can see after dinner at a restaurant and still be home on time to pay off the babysitter..." The American conceptual artist Matthew Barney here produces five films redefining the boundaries off cinema.
Its five constituent films, produced between 1994 and 2002, have been
characterised by their author as filmic sculptures. You are encouraged to see them in the order in which they were made. That is: Cremaster 4, 1, 5, 2 and then the final work, 3: the pentalogy's huge centrepiece and, at three hours long, sufficiently gigantic and mad to qualify as epic all on its own.
The Cremaster is showing at the Cube in two complete runs (9th,10th,11th and 13th, 14th, 15th), in the order expressed by the artist 4-1-5-2-3, with 4 and 1 on the first evening, 5 and 2 on the second, and finally 3 will close on its own.
Cremaster 4
(Matthew Barney/1994/42mins)
(Friday 9th/8pm/£4/£3 - £5 both)
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. A slapstick and surreal fantasy...
