Dear Sophie -
I first learned of Mathew Barney when he installed climbing cleats to the ceiling and walls of Regen Projects in Los Angeles, a performance he executed nude. This Yale bound pre-med student and football recruit launched an unprecedented art performance and filmmaking career, most notably his Cremaster Cycle series of 5 feature length films. His stardom and visual opulence invites as much criticism as acclaim.
With love,
Mom
