Drawing Restraint 19 featured in Juxtapoz Magazine

This is the 19th in a series of performance pieces that Matthew Barney has been responsible for, dating back to 1987. The Drawing restraint series is as a series of studio experiments, drawing upon an athletic model of development in which, growth occurs only through restraint: the muscle encounters resistance, becomes engorged and is broken down, and in healing becomes stronger. In this case, literally restraining the body while attempting to make a drawing.

For this piece, A  block of graphite was affixed to the nose of a skateboard and the skateboard becomes a drawing tool. Barney wanted an artist and profesional skateboarder to do the performace and Lance Mountain was selected. Joe Brook came out to shoot the photos for Juxtapoz Magazine's featured story.
