Matthew Barney: Genius?!?

[RF Godfather]

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet. I want to know what our learn-ed art community, I know you are out there somewhere on the board, thinks about the "Wonderboy" of the artworld.

He currently has his work displayed in the Guggenheim Museum and it is running until June 11. I have my feelings about him but I want to see what the general consesus feel about the Cremaster and his films.

Who doesn't love Vaseline, wrestling mats, bees, potatoes and the Loughton Candidate, right?!?

Remember, in art there is no wrong or right answer/interpretation.

Never heard of him, but it looks like dali-esque photographs.

Wow, where is the art community?

I'm like Erole.. I know a little about everything and a lot about nothing.

It looks like good stuff, though. I'm a pretentious poseur.. deck!

Any relation to Natalie Barney?

[RF Godfather]

Not sure if there is any relation.

Come on, anyone? Where are our art savants?
