Artist's Talk/Screening CREMASTER 5 INTRODUCED BY MATTHEW BARNEY SUNDAY, JULY 18, 1999, 3:30 PM $6 ($3 WALKER MEMBERS AND STUDENTS) AUDITORIUM MEMBERS PAY HALF PRICE! In Cremaster 5, the film that immediately preceded Cremaster 2, Barney creates an elegant meditation structured around two locations in Budapest--a baroque opera house and an equally atmospheric bathhouse. Cremaster 5 stars Ursula Andress as the "Queen of Chain," while the artist himself plays her three suitors. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith has said of the film: "He continues to push the envelope of his eccentric ideas about beauty, sexual ambiguity, symbolic narrative, and in the way he propels his characters through space, in their startling physical acts, transformation, and inspired costumes." Barney introduces the film and will take questions from the audience after the screening. Exhibition Information
