The Matthew Barney Show at Jack the Pelican

Not exactly Matthew Barney’s show, but rather “The Matthew Barney Show“. It’s a group exhibition currently at Jack the Pelican which has been curated by Eric Doeringer. This rich installation is probably more fun than any of the eponymous genuine originals, regardless of how seriously, or unseriously, you take Barney’s work. Doeringer has asked some 30 of his colleagues to create or contribute work referencing the Cremaster phenomenon, and the result is a scary delight.
You have to have seen at least some of the Cremaster videos to get the full effect, but even a cult novitiate will understand most of the symbolism in this collection of bootleg send-ups and tributes.
