The Cremaster Cycle plus De Lama Lamina
The acclaimed five-part Cremaster Cycle is an evocation of the creative process by sculptor and performance artist Matthew Barney. While not created in chronological order, each one comprises a completely realized work in itself, and together they follow a geographical path from west to east and trace a metaphorical trail toward a fully developed form. Barney’s Cremaster Cycle is not now, nor will it ever be, available to consumers on DVD. It last toured nationally in 2003. See the Program Schedule Below. --- Program A (1hr 59min) CREMASTER 1- Taking the form of a musical revue choreographed by blimps and performed on blue astroturf in a football stadium, Cremaster 1 concerns itself with pure biological potential. 1995, 35mm, 40 min. CREMASTER 2- A genuinely haunting gothic western, Cremaster 2 draws extensively from the biography of murderer Gary Gilmore (portrayed by Barney), as well as the life cycle of bees, Harry Houdini and Bob Dylan. 1999, 35mm, 79 min. --- Program B (3hr 2min) CREMASTER 3- Cremaster 3 is a towering and unparalleled epic. Celtic mythology, Masonic rituals, hardcore punk and the Chrysler Building converge for a work that functions as both a meticulously planned spectacle and utter fever dream. 2002,35mm, 182 min. --- Program C (2hr 32min) CREMASTER 4- Fairies, motorcycle races and a horned satyr are featured in the film that most clearly adheres to the biological structure of the series. 1994, 35mm, 42 min. CREMASTER 5- Set in late nineteenth-century Budapest and starring Ursula Andress as the Queen of Chain, Cremaster 5 is a lyrical opera that trades distant biological motifs for immediate emotional resonance. 1997, 35mm, 55 min. DE LAMA LÂMINA - This documentary follows Matthew Barney and legendary musician Arto Lindsay as they construct a float for Carnivale in Rio de Janerio. 2007, 35mm, 55 min. --- Program D (3hr 57min) CREMASTER 3 plus DE LAMA LÂMINA --- Schedule Friday, July 30 Program D, 7:00 Saturday, July 31 Program A, 1:00pm Program B, 3:30 Program C, 7:00 Sunday, August 1 Program A, 1:00pm Program B, 3:30 Program C, 7:00 Monday, August 2 Program A, 6:30 Program B, 9:00 Tuesday, August 3 Program C, 6:30 Program A, 9:00 Wednesday, August 4 Program A, 6:30 Program B, 9:00 Thursday, August 5 Program C, 6:30 Program A, 9:00 Friday, August 6 Program D, 7:00 Saturday, August 7 Program A, 1:00pm Program B, 3:30 Program C, 7:00 Sunday, August 8 Program A, 1:00pm Program B, 3:30 Program C, 7: Roxie Theater 3117 16th Street (at Valencia) General Admission: $9.75 Seniors/Children/Mondays: $5 Full Cycle Pass: $24
