Some guys have it all: muscles, brains, talent. Conceptual art megastar Matthew Barney played star quarterback in high school, paid his way through Yale University by modeling, and won two prestigious contemporary art awards -- the Hugo Boss Prize and the Europa 2000 Prize -- by the time he was 29. As an actor and director, he created a series of experimental films known as "The Cremaster Cycle." These odd allegories received international attention, prompting top curators to exhibit his movie materials and production props. Today, Barney and his muse, Bjork, enjoy the grand art of parenthood. But even changing diapers and being strapped to a Babybjörn haven't stopped Barney from updating another universe called "Drawing Restraint," currently occupying an entire floor of the SFMOMA. Using gelatinous sculptures, furry fashion, and rich soundtracks, Barney is redefining art and leading a life most guys only dream of.
