Documented collaborators

Drawing Restraint 9 is a pivotal figure in experimental art and cinema, renowned for collaborations at the intersection of film, sound, and visual sculpture. The project originated as a high-profile collaboration between Matthew Barney and Björk, culminating in the feature-length Drawing Restraint 9 (2005). The piece centers on a 25-ton petroleum jelly sculpture and a ceremonial tea ritual aboard the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru, with Björk contributing a contemporary soundtrack that has influenced both art and music worlds. While 2025 has emphasized Björk’s Cornucopia project and related cinema releases rather than a traditional DR9 live tour, Drawing Restraint 9 remains a landmark in performance art and film history, and fans can still follow developments through event pages and archives. We’ve got you covered for the latest information and authentic ticket access as opportunities arise.
