Sic semper tyrannis. Moving right along, Matthew Barney's Cremaster cycle commences unspooling tonight in Philadelphia and through the 27th. Yes, I plan to see it, and no, not all in one sitting. The days when I dutifully viewed Our Hitler in one day, and the entirety of Berlin Alexanderplatz in one weekend, are long passed. On the wordy tip, hurry up and read this remarkable essay by Kathryn Chetkovich while it's still available online...or you could actually buy the issue of Granta in which it appears. No points for deducing the identity of the man "correct"-ly (ha ha); Ms. Chetkovich's gossamer-like circumspection is part of the point, I think. Hmmm, circumspect Chetkovich...that's fun to say. Anyway, I'd really like to hear people's opinions on this: is the article a shamelessly craven bid for attention, or a stunningly honest confession of weakness and failure? |
