The Cremaster Cycle (film screening)
Christine Cinéma Club, Paris
29 and 30 June 2024
The Fondation Cartier and Christine Cinéma Club, Paris, present an exceptional retrospective of The Cremaster Cycle, a collection of five films made by Matthew Barney between 1994 and 2002.
Directed and co-produced by Matthew Barney over an eight-year period, the epic Cremaster Cycle (1994–2002) is an autonomous aesthetic system, comprising five feature films that explore the creative process. A veritable 'total artwork', the cycle unfolds not only on a cinematic level, but also through the photographs, drawings, sculptures, and installations produced by the artist in conjunction with each film.

TechnoCool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001) (group show)
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
27 October 2023 – 11 February 2024
Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 5 is included in Technocool. New Trends in Hungarian Art in the Nineties (1989–2001). The exhibition explores the ways in which the revolutionising spirit of electronic music, DJ culture, and the new visuality of parties served as key inspiration for a generation of artists who started their career in the 1990s. Alongside Hungarian artists, Technocool also presents work by foreign artists who exerted a major influence in Hungary in this period. The displayed works showcase the development of different media – paintings, readymades, photographs, prints, videos and, to a lesser extent, computer-based art – as a new opportunity for self-expression during the nineties.
