Matthew Barney. Prayer Sheet With The Wound and the Nail - Schaulager, Basel

The exhibition shows works from the series "Drawing Restraint," the Matthew Barney (born in 1967 in San Francisco) continues since 1988. The documented performances of this series are here various Christian paintings of the 16th and 17 Century compared.

Under the title "Drawing Restraint" (something like: "is prevented from drawing") sums up Matthew Barney all those performances in which he under difficult conditions to make drawings attempted. On the basis of specially developed equipment with ramps, slopes, obstacles or elastic straps Barney sets himself on restrictions that impede his artistic work deliberately. He believes "the form can only take form when she fights against a resistance."

The presentation includes numerous documents these singular actions - including objects, drawings, photographs, display cases but also film and video. In addition to older performances, as well as two new works are presented that have been created in May 2010 in the shop warehouse.

Barneys performances in the exhibition are woodcuts and paintings by Martin Schongauer, Albrecht Dürer, Urs Graf, Hans Baldung
and other artists of the 16th and early 17 Century compared. By such a confrontation should latent meanings in Barney's work come to light: "They are aspects such as effort, overcoming resistance,

The exhibition "No territorial pissing" shows the work of nine young women artists and the work terms with Bern Willy Weber. (1933 - 1998) shot in 1960 by Willi Weber, the first brass plate. This work of art was the basis for the group of "exploded reliefs.
Willy Weber's "explosive sculptures" are often of a soft natural beauties. They live on reflections, organic shapes and a presence with the timeless the surfaces to light and motion plays. Willy Weber, asked by Meret Oppenheim and Bernhard Luginbuhl, teaching himself came into the world of art, defined in a time when the kinetic art was at its zenith. Compared to the works of a brutal Tinguely or striking plants around the group Zero, are the works of Willy Weber's quiet, poetic and often organic appearance. With the emergence of the works it was anything but ru hig access and poetic. Willy Weber created by dynamite, concave and convex landscapes in chrome steel, brass or Corte plates. This "naive" random work of Willy Weber read me make reference to my own work and I was interested in whether I experience this attitude in contemporary art. Considering this assumption, I asked to artists and put together a group of young artists, all seen in the possibility of the materiality and impact of the process, the importance of artistic creation. In order to force
the importance of the process and the works of William Weber to make the artist accessible, I plan to issue a "Workshop - Character". This means that the artist, two weeks before the opening to access the works and the room. Locally / should work can be implemented directly related to spatiality in the reference. In the room there are old industrial buildings that form a patchwork walls and nooks Konträr to the usual habit-th Ausstellungsräumen. An additional freedom makes the fact that is being demolished after the exhibition the building. This foundation aims to provide artists an experimental and unusual pre-condition for the exhibition. The conditions to the artist time and freedom to provide produce works, under other circumstances are not possible. My aim is to curate the exhibition and in the collective awareness of the artists on the action. After all, "with an activity raises also what we call ego." (Anselm Kiefer)
Like a distorted mirror image of a chrome steel reliefs by Willi Weber, the exhibition an insight to offer to work at present Bernese artists who are geographically bound variable in Bern, but by the attitude and the work is a being that I as "Bernese" refer moch-te, festhält. In addition to the exhibition a big Bernese artist, the timeless ideas and visions, used to honor and keep you from forgetting.
