{"product_id":"9780847833818-retail-matthew-barney-secondary","title":"Matthew Barney: Secondary","description":"In  SECONDARY , world-renowned artist and filmmaker Matthew Barney explores the spectacle of violence in American football and culture. This is the definitive two-volume companion to this important work. SECONDARY  is a five-channel video installation, performed in Barney's Long Island City studio in 2023, then in London, Paris, and Los Angeles in 2024. The plot revolves around an accident that occurred during a football game in 1978, when Oakland Raiders' Jack Tatum delivered an open field hit on Darryl Stingley, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots. Stingley was left paralyzed. The tragic event remained seared in the minds of American fans, including Barney himself, a youth-league quarterback at the time. Through allusion to American sports culture,  SECONDARY  explores the complex intersection of violence, its representation, and its celebration. It reimagines the game through a unique movement vocabulary. The result is a physical study that focuses on every element of the game, from drills and pre-game rituals to moments of impact and their slow-motion replays. Volume 1 explores  SECONDARY  in depth, with essays by leading contemporary voices. Volume 2 maps the life of Barney's former Long Island City studio, where  SECONDARY  premiered to the public.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49129888776411,"sku":"9780847833818-RETAIL","price":233.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c380140d-a97e-4d9f-bc10-6a44fada6eca.jpg?v=1786558390","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780847833818-retail-matthew-barney-secondary","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
