Banks, Eric. MATTHEW BARNEY: SECONDARY. 396 pages, illustrated throughout in color. 4to, cloth. New York, Rizzoli, 2025. In SECONDARY, artist and filmmaker Matthew Barney explores the spectacle of violence in American football and culture. This is the definitive two-volume companion to this 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.

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.…
