Matthew Barney: Prayer Sheet with the Wound and the Nail

Résumé

Written to accompany the exhibition held at Schaulager Basel in 2010, this book is the first complete record of “DRAWING RESTRAINT”, Matthew Barney’s performance project that started in 1987. It also introduces several of his large-scale sculptures with texts and numerous illustrations. In keeping with the artist’s ideas, Barney’s works are contrasted with selected northern Renaissance paintings and works on paper containing Christian imagery. It features illustrations and descriptions of all the exhibited works. Essays by the exhibition curator Neville Wakefield, New York, and Bodo Brinkmann, curator of old masters at the Kunstmuseum Basel, take us through the ideas behind the exhibition. A far-reaching discussion between the British psychoanalyst and writer Adam Phillips and Matthew Barney gives insight into the array of subjects the artist is interested in. A large-format photospread illustrates the exhibition.
