New exploit by Matthew Barney

Posted Jul 27, 2010

Started June 12 going on until October 3 , in Switzerland, “prayer sheet with the wound and the nail”. Matthew Barney’s exhibition consisting of videos and drawings related to his ongoing “drawing restraint series”.

What is Matthew Barney up to?

 

A large fish, a boat, blood. In many ways blood has been used by artists to express the deep rooted messages, in this case Matthew seems to be speaking for the dead fish. Taking performance to another level. According to the American artist everything grows through restraint, so what does restraint mean? Judge for yourself either by attending the exhibition that takes place in Basel at the Schaulager, or by watching Barney’s work on Vernissage TV.
