Book Reviews of Matthew Barney: Contemporary Mythologies
Book Review: Beautiful, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Note for buyers -- the entire book is actually in Italian. At the very back of the book is all the text translated to English lumped together. So you'll have to flip back and forth between the English and the Italian to reference the pictures that go with chapters. I thought it might also be helpful to list the written chapter titles here:
* The Contemporary Mythology of Matthew Barney
* The Time of Tale
____Group 1: "When the eyes can't see"
____Group 2: Rituals and tradition
____Group 3: Cognitive restraints in art-therapeutic setting's experience and restraints in Barney's DR
____Group 4: Transgender Humans and Artworks
* Arte Metafisica in New York
* A Conversation. Richard Flood and Matthew Barney
Summary of Matthew Barney: Contemporary Mythologies
New York Times critic Michael Kimmelman has called Matthew Barney "the most important American artist of his generation." Most known for his epic film series Cremaster Cycle (1994-2002) and Drawing Restraint (2005), a feature film made with his partner, Bjork, Barney's technically and conceptually fastidious work conflates various personal and universal mythologies into narratives that are famously difficult to unravel. This volume compiles work from Barney's solo exhibitions at Turin's Fondazione Merz and National Museum of Cinema, as well as coverage of the International Festival of Philosophy of Contemporary Art, a collaboration between the Fondazione Merz and the University of Turin for which Barney was featured in conversation with Richard Flood and Arthur C. Danto.Artists, A-Z Books
