A generously illustrated look at the intricate narrative threads of
three of the artist's earliest works, and their continued resonance
today Celebrated for works blending performance, video, and
sculpture, Matthew Barney has created complex narratives that
emerge across series since his earliest exhibitions. Matthew
Barney: OTTO Trilogy is the first book to trace the progression of
three significant early projects-Facility of INCLINE, Facility of
DECLINE, and OTTOshaft- and to reveal the narrative system that
links them. Titled after former football player Jim Otto, the
series explores the training, discipline, and physical limits of
the body alongside questions of sexual difference and desire.
Featuring an illuminating introduction by Nancy Spector; an essay
by Maggie Nelson on the works' exploration of psychology, bodies,
image-making, narrative, and abstraction; and a new text by the
artist, this generously illustrated volume includes previously
unpublished artist's sketches, behind-the-scenes photographs,
research material, and video stills. It is the definitive
publication on this important series, and offers a key to
understanding many of the themes that thread throughout Barney's
oeuvre. Distributed for the Gladstone Gallery Exhibition Schedule:
Gladstone Gallery, New York (09/08/16-10/22/16)
