Matthew Barney is a multi-medium creative artist. His most recognized (and controversial) works consist of performance art, sculpture, drawing, and symbolism blended together in a series of Avant-Garde films known as the Cremaster series. Cremaster is a scientific term referring to the ascension and dissension of a muscle of the male anatomy.
In addition to the film series’ unusual name, the filming and release of the five films, produced between 1994-2002, were done purposely out of order, Cremaster 4, 1, 5, 2, and 3 respectively. Each movie tackles a subtheme of the whole, exploring human gender and sexuality from fetus to adulthood. Although the running theme is biological, the aesthetics are a combination of artist mediums.
Other acclaimed films written and directed by Barney include Drawing Restraint 9 (2006) and DeLama Lamina (2007). His films have been analyzed in detail by critics and fans for their multilayered, controversial topics and use of diverse forms of expression.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
