WHAT is Barney up to now? Chck it out at argosarts.org

Matthew Barney’s entire artistic practice investigates the development of form, and Drawing Restraint is based on the notion that form emerges only through struggle against resistance. The idea grew out of the artist’s early experience as an athlete and his thinking about resistance as a catalyst for muscle growth. By extension, he wondered how this bulking of tissue, known as hypertrophy, might make a case for self-imposed resistance as an impetus for creativity. The work proposes the body as an analogy for creative process and a model for the artist’s conception of a productive state based on unresolved tensions between desire, stored potential, and repression.
