It was then auctioned off, eventually went to a local skate shop, while the pencilly marks - the greater work, we think - remain on the sides of the park. His wishes were obeyed, when skateboarding champ Lance Mountain rode the board at the park. Barney donated the board to the park, on the understanding that it would be ridden.

When a rider performs a nose manual - or rides on the foremost wheels the front tip facing down - the graphite scores a mark on the riding surface. As Juxtapoz magazine explains, Barney produced a skateboard as part of the series, to benefit Detroit's RideIt Sculpture Park, an urban renewal project.īarney's board has a chunk of pencil graphite set under its front end. In this, its latest incarnation, Drawing Restraint 19 engages with the distinctly less jock-like sport of skateboarding. Yet, if anything connects the series, it does seem to be some austere, sportsmanly exertion. Of course, the series, now on its 19th iteration, has strayed far from the sports field and gym, taking in Japanese religions, petroleum jelly and whaling.
