    Matthew Barney. CREMASTER 5, CREMASTER 4

    The five-part CREMASTER cycle is Matthew Barney’s cinematic masterpiece. In it, the American artist examines biological and psychological processes of formation. The Film Museum Munich presents CREMASTER 5 (1997) and CREMASTER 4 (1994/1995) from the cycle, which was not produced in chronological order.

    CREMASTER 4, 1994/1995, 42’ min

    CREMASTER 4 takes place on the mystical Isle of Man, an island in the Irish Sea, where the famous “Tourist Trophy” (TT) motorcycle race takes place annually. Barney used the opportunity to have two motorcycle teams circle the island in opposite directions.

    CREMASTER 5, 1997, 54’ 30” min

    Matthew Barney describes the last and final part of the cycle as a lyric opera of a tragic love story set against the romantic backdrop of Budapest. The main characters in the epic are the Queen of Chains and the magician and escape artist Harry Houdini.

    Gutai. Collection + Goetz

    – | Pinakothek der Moderne | Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection)

    Since 2019, in the context of the Sammlung+ format, the Sammlung Moderne Kunst has presented artistic discoveries, new acquisitions and thematic foci in the Pinakothek der Moderne in collaboration with partners and foundations. This has led to the emergence of new perspectives on the collections, new insights into research work and the establishment of new dialogues. It is in this framework that a selection of paintings by the Japanese artist group Gutai from the Sammlung Goetz will be presented in room 23, within a series of rooms focusing on near-contemporaneous regional and German abstraction phenomena under the title “Walk the Line.”  Founded in 1954 by the abstract painter Jiro Yoshihara, Gutai was one of the 20th century’s most innovative artistic movements, which combined action, abstraction and materiality.
