Son of a bitch! For all my weirded-out, creepy crawlies from my visit to the Walker on Sunday, I've realized that I am now officially obsessed with the work of Matthew Barney, namely his work related to his series of 5 films called the Cremaster Cycle. I haven't seen any of them, but check the website out, read the plotlines, look at the sculptures, and view the trailer. That is some fucked up shit. I'm painfully curious, but given the description of some of the scenes, I don't know if I'd be able to watch. For example, in Cremaster 2, there's a full penetration scene, but the dude's schlong has a beehive for a head. And in Cremaster 3, a character has dental work performed and suffers a prolapsed rectum (aka a "pink sock"). Gaaaah!!! I also hear tell there's a scene in one of the films which is basically him sticking assorted objects up his ass, but I don't know if that's true. If so, then DOUBLE GAAAAHH!!!!

I have no recollection of how I first ran across the Cremaster website or knowledge of Barney's work, but on Sunday when we walked into one room at the walker, I immediately said, "This looks very Matthew Barney-esque." Sure enough, the plaque on the wall described it as being a series of photos and sculptures related to Cremaster 2 (go to the website, click "Sculpture", then "The Drone's Exposition" and "Slug" to see the display currently at the Walker).

Bee hive dicks, pink socks, anal insertions, and a very conflicted Jeremy. What more can I say?
