  • Catalogue Essay

    Desires fulminating in the unconscious are, according to Freud, archaic, magical, and immune to logic and history. Barney is at his best when the work neither explains nor illustrates, but presses its charged elements together in ways as inscrutable as those in one of Joseph Cornell’s boxes or the contents of one of Duchamp’s wily suitcases. D. Baird, “Matthew Barney:The Cremaster Cycle”, The Brooklyn Rail, April,2003, n.p.
