Welcome to the official artist page for Cremaster 4 and 5, two essential installments in Matthew Barney’s The Cremaster Cycle. Spanning 1994 to 1997 with production order distinct from release, these works fuse sculpture, film, music by Jonathan Bepler, and performance to explore biophysical imagery that blends biology, mythology, and ritual. Though not presented as a traditional concert tour, Cremaster 4 and 5 have been shown in immersive screenings and installations at major venues worldwide, inviting audiences to experience a living, evolving avant-garde narrative.

Background context matters for appreciating Cremaster 4 and 5. The cycle was produced over eight years (1994–2002) with a production order that differs from viewing order: Cremaster 4, Cremaster 1, Cremaster 5, Cremaster 2, and Cremaster 3—the latter at over three hours stands as the cycle’s longest entry. Jonathan Bepler’s score and the collaboration with stage, film, and visual designers create a singular biophysical lexicon. While 2025 has seen no widely advertised Cremaster 4/5 tour, related screenings and performances have continued at institutions such as IFC Center, Hammer Museum, and Fondation Cartier. Fans can stay connected for future projects and potential appearances, including related performances like Tactical Parallax. For official updates, follow Matthew Barney and associated entities through their verified channels.
