American visual artist and filmmaker
Matthew Barney is best known for his epic
Cremaster Cycle, a project consisting of five feature length films and related sculptures, photographs, drawings, and artist's books. The Cremaster Cycle was made over a period of eight years (1994-2002) and culminated in a major museum exhibition organized by Nancy Spector of the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, which traveled to the
Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the
Musée d'art Moderne in Paris from 2002-03. Barney's longtime collaborator
Jonathan Bepler composed and arranged the soundtracks for the films.
