DRAWING RESTRAINT
June 23, 2006 - September 17, 2006
SFMOMA is the only U.S. venue for this full-scale survey, the first to gather together multimedia artist Matthew Barney's entire DRAWING RESTRAINT series. Spanning almost 20 years, DRAWING RESTRAINT is an ongoing performance-based project exploring the notion that form emerges through struggle against resistance. The idea grew out of Barney's early experience as an athlete and represents many principles fundamental to his art. A site-specific installation designed by the artist, the exhibition occupies the Museum's entire fourth floor. The presentation includes DRAWING RESTRAINT 9, a recent project comprising a feature-length film and related photography, drawing, video, and sculpture. The film is is shown daily in the Phyllis Wattis Theater; see below for a screening schedule. Also in the exhibition is DRAWING RESTRAINT 14, a new work Barney created at SFMOMA.
