"There are any number of breathtaking moments in Matthew Barney's
CREMASTER 3, the most extravagant artwork I've come across this
year (and
not just this year)--like the sequence in which a skeletal zombielike
body
emerges from the mud in a tunnel beneath the Chrysler Building and is
placed in the backseat of a '38 Imperial New Yorker parked in the
lobby."
Daniel Birnbaum on Matthew Barney's CREMASTER 3
"Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal get my vote for screen couple of the
year (even if they were drunk and don't remember a thing)."
John Waters on Alfonso Cuaron's Y Tu Mama Tambien
"...Feldman channels Duchamp, Warhol, and Rauschenberg, but is at once
funnier than any of them and more rigorously artless. Like any good
comedian, he knows that some of the best jokes are pointed and painful."
Vince Aletti on Hans-Peter Feldmann
