Subliming Vessel also marks the creation of a new DRAWING RESTRAINT performance, the twentieth in this ongoing series that examines the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity. For the exhibition, the artist has selected items from the Morgan's collections to display as part of his storyboards, underscoring the important role of literature and mythology in the elaboration of his stories. Featuring nearly one hundred drawings spanning the artist's career to date, the exhibition will include Barney's earliest drawings made in the late 1980s, drawings created in conjunction with the CREMASTER film cycle (1994–2002), and those related to his current project RIVER OF FUNDAMENT.Īlso on view are a selection of Barney's storyboards for his films and videos-composed of sketches, photographs, clippings, and books-used to map out the narrative structure of his projects. These photographic works feel icons, albeit venerating saints of a mysterious and hybrid denomination.Subliming Vessel is the first museum exhibition devoted to Matthew Barney's works on paper. Still images of protagonists or objects are displayed in shaped acrylic fames, some of which are self-lubricating, such as CREMASTER 4: T L: IRISH SEA, 1994. Many of the props are coated in Vaseline, and Barney extends this into the photographic and sculptural pieces related to CREMASTER. Americana, tartan, Modernist architecture and Renaissance opulence coexist in new hybrid compositions that seem to be in dialogue with high fashion as much as the supposedly more serious contemporary art lexicon.

The sets and costumes, full of baroque detail and stylistic clashes, are as much the central focus as the characters. Named after the muscles that control the rise and fall of the male testes, the films investigate the rituals and eroticism of sport – reflecting Barney’s own past as an athlete – and the power of belief systems and architecture.īarney weaves together idiosyncratic narratives encompass everything from Celtic myth and the TT races on the Isle of Man, to the Art Deco Chrysler Building skyscraper in New York, and even feature sculptor Richard Serra as a grand masonic master. Barney is best known for his hugely ambitious CREMASTER series (1994-2002), five self-written and self-directed feature length films made in nonsequential order. He began his Drawing Restraint series in 1987, releasing a film, Drawing Restraint 9, set on an Icelandic whaling ship and starring his then partner, Björk, in 2005. Matthew Barney works across sculpture, photography, drawing and film, often developing singular pieces over a number of years.
