  • Artists don't make art to explain it.

  • I agree. I also think that Barney is attempting to explain so much allegory, symbolism, philosophy, religion, and social structures through such a limited media of expression. He is also a synesthete and that makes it difficult to express crossed sensation and thought. I think the Cremaster Cycle is one of the most profound artistic installation in modern history. It is profound only if we choose to find the profundity in the art. A receiver must be open to receive.

  • very confused,love this interview and the tone of mathew is great to listen to ,the journey is refreshing

  • @jowens3

    i think its like being lost in thought

    stuck in creative mode or something, who knows if its not colorful it may be hard to speak especially communicating from that off world

    someone outside may see the whole picture while the person creating is somewhere lost in another part of it

  • I've seen your post for many months now, and I agree that Barney is very scatterbrained, but I feel completely comfortable in saying that his Cremaster Cycle is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The most fascinating artwork I have seen In years. I expect disagreement, but I don't care. I have seen The full Cremaster Cycle and have been astonished ever since. Barney's interviews don't give much weight to his work, but his brilliance is unexpected and gorgeous. It's my opinion, that's all.

  • iy seems,that his relation to his art is metaphysical and he is like an medium ..

  • I don't know if you realize this, but Matthew Barney is actually Doug Funnie.

  • Matthew Barney is creative, but he's also very scatterbrained and can't explain his own art. I think the interviewer explained it better than he did.

  • great interview!!! thanks!!

    every material about this great artist is very welcome!
