Editor's Notes
- “DRAWING RESTRAINT (1987-present) is a significant and long-term project for Barney, in which he proposes art-making as parallel to athletic training: the development of form occurs through resistance. Begun while still a student at Yale, Barney was influenced by his background as an athlete and sought to foreground the physical body and its tensions in a studio practice. DRAWING RESTRAINT comprises drawings, sculpture, photographs and video works emerging from his self-imposed and increasingly complex obstacles and scenarios. Considered together, DRAWING RESTRAINT forms an ongoing proposition for the harnessing of one's impulses and drives into a desired output, artistic or otherwise. They demonstrate the underpinnings of Barney's work, in which the body plays a central role, and ritualistic processes of creation are explored through manifold materials, settings, and personas.” http://www.ago.net/matthew-barney-drawing-restraint
- “In the 1950s, Tinguely produced a series of sculptures/ machines that produced their own art. He named this series Métamatics. The sculptures centred on a mechanical arm, with which the machine could draw pictures consisting of lines and dots. The viewer had the power to choose which drawing implement the machine used, giving the works a reflexive nature wherein the viewer was no longer passive but became a part of the performance. The Metamatics drew on ideas expressed in Tinguely’s earlier work, questioning the role of the machine in society and the interaction with technology.” https://theculturetrip.com/europe/switzerland/articles/the-art-of-destruction-jean-tinguely-and-dadaism/
