The Cremaster Cycle
Performance at the Guggenheim Museum
Flo Mounier performed at the Guggenheim Museum in New
York, on March 30 and 31, 2003. Flo Mounier was invited by Matthew Barney,
an American artist who from his earliest work has explored the transcendence
of physical limitations in a multimedia art practice that includes feature-length
films, video installations, sculpture, photography, and drawing.
Matthew Barney and the composer Jonathan Bepler put together two performances
at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Other participants were Will
Rhamer the vocalist for Mortician and Derek Roddy the drummer for Hate
Eternal. The performances at the Guggenheim featured the five-cycle film
project The Cremaster Cycle.
