Matthew Barney Theater 3000

The EFA Project Space in New York City is holding an event on Thursday, April 23 called The Glorified Docent, a screening of bootlegged art films with live color commentary from guest critics based on the structure of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), the American cult television comedy series that aired from 1988 to 1999. EFA has not released a list of the films they will be showing, but rumor has it that at least one Cremaster film will be screened. The guest critics include Art Fag City, David Coggins, Bill Cole, Steve Dumain, the Eh-Team, Sarah Hromack, Lady Rizo, Nathan Shafer, and others. The screening follows a panel discussion (titled "The Future of Panel Discussions") that starts at 6:00 PM.

Cremaster Cycle on ebay

We'd like to draw your attention to an item currently up for bidding on ebay - the complete Cremaster Cycle on DVD. Although this is clearly an (ahem) unauthorized released, look at the production value on the packaging! This is the best looking Cremaster boot we at Cremaster Fanatic have ever seen (obviously, we can't vouch for the quality of the video).

If you want this, you'll have to act fast - there's less than a day left on the auction. The price is currently $65 - far below the half-a-million dollars Cremaster 2 recently fetched at auction. Plus, the seller says he'll use the money to pay off student loans.

Update: The DVDs sold for $216.50.
