Jeanne Silverthorne at Marc Straus Gallery
Butterflies are a reminder of the brevity of life, but the Xerces Blue perching on this crate is an extinct species, adding a note of finality even as the nearby Venus Flytrap demonstrates abundant health. Jeanne Silverthorne’s new sculpture at Marc Straus Gallery also includes silicone rubber crates which symbolize unknown creative possibilities. Acting as pedestal and art object, they range from sturdy to dilapidated, suggesting the coexistence of ideas that will someday manifest as artworks and those that will not. (On view on the Lower East Side through Feb 16th). Jeanne Silverthorne, Venus Flytrap with Xerces Blue (Extinct), Two Crates, platinum silicone rubber, 53 x 25.3 x 48 inches, 2012-19.

Galleries Of Week 2
Jeanne Silverthorne - Marc Straus (floor 4)
Jeanne Silverthorne’s exhibition was held on the fourth floor of the Marc Straus Gallery. Although it had the smallest room to encapsulate, it was the most sculptural, and the most visually impactful. When you first walk into the room, there is a large chandelier hanging around a foot off of the floor, the chandelier is black and covered in an archival-esque material that makes the surface look almost chalky and waxy at the same time. Cords erupt from the chandelier and sprawl across the ground and wall, connecting to other cords in a snakelike embrace. The all-black cord gathering trails up to an iconic EXIT sign, one would see at perhaps a movie theater. The sign is also covered in the same black material as the chandelier, and the red glow of the letters becomes more sinister in this context. Across from the exit sign, there is a book on display that looks similar to a diary, and has words sprawled out that are quite challenging to read. I overall enjoyed this exhibition and was intrigued by the processes that were evident on all of the pieces, and was intrigued by the use of the cords as a joining material to connect each piece spacially. 
Chris Jones - (2nd and 3rd floors)
The pieces in Chris Jone’s exhibition reminded me very strongly of a pop-up children book, with 3D cut-outs in paper, and backgrounds emphasized and shapes coming to the forefront. Those I was at the gallery with seemed very interested in these works, however I saw them in a more kitsch light. I thought that they were interesting craftsmanship-wise, but wasn't able to really see an entry point to discuss them or think about them on a further level than that. With some added mechanics like a moving coffee cup I just did not feel specifically drawn to these pieces for anything other than a nostalgic memory of the books it reminded me of. 
Ulf Puder - (2nd floor)
Ulf Puder’s paintings were extremely visually interesting to me yet simple at the same time. Many of the paintings gave me a gloomy, apocalyptic feeling. Complete with broken down houses or a water level much higher than our current one, Puder’s paintings are definitely evocative of a time that could be to come in the future. I was especially impressed with Puder’s balance of both the realism of the landscapes and houses he provided, that were offset by shapes of gradients. The gradients in place of specific shapes, say a garage door for instance, add to the mystique of each painting. The gradients give a lot of the visual interest to me, and keep me questioning the intention behind the placement of each one, this is what I enjoyed so much about each painting, they all gave me a very specific feeling overall, but when I broke each aspect down more I was questioning as to why? 
Zlatan Vehabovic - (first floor)
The exhibition on the first floor consisted of works by croatian artist Zlatan Vehabovic, who embarked on a five-week residency program to the Arctic Circle, extensively documented his trip, and then returned to his studio to create the paintings in this exhibition. At first glance, one may look at these works and see landscapes of the frozen tundra mixed in with some portraiture, however, when looking closer, you can see how each piece has specific fragments repeated time and time again, as if you are either looking through a kaleidoscope, or perhaps having double vision. These ‘shards’ that nestle themselves among the background of the paintings are sometimes less evident, as in the piece entitled, “Ursa Major,” (2018) in which is a portrait of a person hiking, and are sometimes more evident and almost collage-like, as shown in the piece, “Builder of Things,” (2018.) I overall was very interested in these paintings, and especially in the viewpoint of the artist of this specific landscape that is showcased in these works. 
Rafael Rozendaal - Postmasters
Rozendaal’s show at Postmasters is at first, deceptively minimalistic. On the gallery wall’s hang squares of white steel sheets that have various shapes cut into each. These are pieces of their own, that can function as a drawing, a sculpture, a design, etc. They are considered “shadow objects,” by the artist, which I assumed would refer to the shapes cast by the thick steel onto the white of the space not cut out. The press release statement by the artist was probably the most interesting aspect to me, which spoke about how the artist is not a maker and doesn't ‘work with materials.” Which is quite an interesting statement for an artist to make! This intrigued me, along with the comment about how Rozendaal’s work is searching for the path to the fastest production - a computer design to a computer cutting out the shapes in the steel. 
Borders - james cohan 
Borders at James Cohan Gallery was a very interesting group show discussing borders as political, ideological, and formal. The show included works by many artists of all different disciplines, however a few specific pieces were very intriguing to me. The first piece was a brick wall structure made by Jorge Mendez Blake and was titled, “Amerika” (2019.) At first glance the wall looks like it is just that - a brick wall, but once you take a look at the gallery’s information sheet, it says that the wall is made of editions of Franz Kafka’s novel of the same title, “Amerika.” I found this to be very interesting, considering I had originally just assumed it was a brick wall and had admittedly somewhat overlooked the sculpture as I didn't see much to digest as a wall has been synonymous with America in the recent political climate. The next pieces that I was interested in were two video pieces, the first was entitled, “18 Days,” by XU ZHEN, which details a faux documentary invasion of Myanmar, Mongolia, and Russia using toy cars, and the second a video piece by Hiraki Sawa called, “Dwelling,” (2002,) which is of a airplane flying around the artist’s room showing the crossing of ‘borders’ related to the childlike and imaginary.

Three Artworks by Isabel Twanmo
In my work with sculpture and mixed media I explore ways in which a scientific approach can fuel artistic exploration from a process-based perspective. I observe the biological process of fermentation in kombucha brewing as my sculpting medium, SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), is formed by weaving chains of glucose into disks of cellulose. When bent, layered, and dried, these cellulose pellicles become soft, paper-thin, and leather-like scenes depicting abstract landscapes in orange-brown. I often hang my SCOBY sculptures on walls or windows where light ​can ​pass ​through ​and ​emphasize ​each ​layer ​and ​fold ​of ​material.
When I am not working with SCOBY, my interest in science drives how I approach a new piece, learn from a material, and use new or existing knowledge to achieve a definitive result. In particular, I am interested in using the scientific process as a model for my approach to making. That is, questioning, hypothesizing, gathering information, and experimenting. As part of this experimental approach, I am always trying to learn new techniques and progress with new and familiar materials as a means of maintaining curiosity, innovation, and adaptability. These materials have included paper, wood, string, water, paint, pastels, charcoal, and ink, though I have also enjoyed working in metal, limestone, ​and ​plaster.
Top to bottom.

Isabel Twanmo is a visual artist and student at Bennington College studying how the scientific process can fuel artistic exploration in process and product. She has spent time working for New York City-based sculptors Daniel Wiener and Jeanne Silverthorne, the Bio Art Lab at the School of Visual Arts, and Red Marble Media. Recently, Twanmo interned in the art department of the Netflix show “House of Cards.” She plans to continue working and studying as a visual artist, while exploring freelance work in film and TV.

Hyperallergic: When Experimental Music Resonated with Abstract Art
‘Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947–1962,’ installation view (image courtesy of Hauser & Wirth; photo by Genevieve Hanson)
Next to the signature on Philip Guston’s “Untitled” (1952) is the dedication “for Morty.” This hangs in the central gallery of Hauser and Wirth’s 69th St. show Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947 – 1962, curated by Doug Dreishpoon. In the back room, recordings of compositions by Morton Feldman and John Cage play on loop, including Morty’s “For Franz Kline” (1962). Upstairs is a selection of paintings and works on paper by Kline. This ricochet of dedications is one of the more explicit modes of social and aesthetic networking that bind together the composers and artists in this rich exhibition.
The title of the show accentuates what composer Christian Wolff — the last living member of the New York School of composers and briefly a student of Cage’s — characterized as the “interesting differences, held in a kind of cheerful suspension” that can be heard in “Radio Happening I” (1966), a conversation between Cage and Feldman. Excerpts of that revealing exchange alternate with a recording of Cage’s “Lecture on Nothing,” quietly looping at the entrance of the gallery. The exhibition spans three floors and includes original and facsimile scores by Cage and Feldman, paintings by Guston, sculpture and works on paper by Louise Bourgeois and David Smith, and oil paintings by Joan Mitchell.
Philip Guston, “Untitled” (c. 1951), gouache on paper, 44.5 x 57.8 / 17 1/2 x22 3/4 in (image courtesy the Estate of Philip Guston and Hauser & Wirth; photo by Genevieve Hanson)
The tension between the worldviews of Cage and Feldman immortalized in “Radio Happenings” is representative of the show’s variety. These artists and composers gathered together at The Club and the Cedar Tavern, talked, and supported one another, but they had divergent aesthetic outlooks that were allowed to stand because of the friendship. Recently, while visiting Brigid Cohen’s “Musical Experimentalism: Poetics and Politics” seminar at NYU, Wolff said he wasn’t sure the artists liked their concerts very much, but they were supportive and would show up. The slender monoliths of Bourgeois’s “Breasted Woman” (1949–50; cast 1989) and David Smith’s “Forging IX” (1955) represent contrasting approaches to the gendered social positions of the artists: Culturally embedded into Smith’s title, masculinity enlists a deceptive neutrality; Bourgeois hangs the feminine body on the work.
Louise Bourgeois, “Breasted Woman” (1949–1950; cast 1989), bronze, paint, and stainless steel, 137.2 x 8.9 x 8.9 cm / 54 x 3 ½ x 3 ½ in (© The Easton Foundation/Licensed by VAGA, New York NY; courtesy Hauser & Wirth; photo by Christopher Burke)
Looking at Bourgeois’s sculpture “The Blind Leading the Blind” (1947–49) strains my body into a perpetual tiptoe as I both carry off a body and am myself borne away. The wood tapering vertically to the floor plunges me into the vertigo of modernity of which Baudelaire wrote; the horizontal elements direct me to a vanishing point from which I came or to which I am being led. Like a sound, her works radiate their effect beyond visual boundaries.
Kline’s works of black paint on newspaper have a fascinating parallel with Cage’s ideas about listening. At 13:00 of “Radio Happening I,” Cage tries to convince Feldman that the transistor radios that so bothered Feldman were only “making audible something that you were already in.” For Cage, the radio actualizes a selection of the noise in which we are immersed. In the history of Kline’s work, a projector stands in for Cage’s radios: At de Koonings suggestion, Kline projected a drawing of a chair onto the wall at an enormous size, and he found “the strokes expanding as entities in themselves, unrelated to any entity but that of their own existence.” Kline’s black figures seem to be the actualization of some subset of the virtual noise of newsprint on which they stand. As in Feldman’s vanishing instrumental works, the materials become isolated amid space or silence, depending on your medium.
Though Kline’s works may zoom in on isolated existence, they look good together, taken in at a glance, just as Cage found it congenial to have his works played simultaneously. In contrast, Mitchell’s paintings are lonely, asking you to get lost in the frame as if nothing else existed in the universe: Enter with only your memory of life. We are meant to engage them with a question on our lips, as is the case with Feldman’s music from this period. Later in his career, Feldman’s works ask the questions for us, but at that point we don’t mind, thanks to the hard-won eloquence of the later pieces such as “Triadic Memories” (1981).
‘Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947–1962,’ installation view (image courtesy of Hauser & Wirth; photo by Genevieve Hanson)
The press release presents the show as a group of artists pushing “their respective mediums to new realms of abstraction.” But the notion of “abstract music” is a troubled one; music becomes “abstract” mostly by association with art that is so named. Feldman’s sparse instrumental works actually throw us back to the material — a single pluck of a cello string sounds, unmoored from its aesthetic symbolic order. Cage’s cacophonous “Williams Mix” (1952) hurls the material at us: horns, frogs, and voices ordered by many flips of the coin and assembled through a score that functions like a dressmaker’s pattern. (The original score on display is well worth examining.) In the works presented, it is primarily the absence of an intelligible grammar of melody that prevents the familiar and emphatically abstract structures of music from cohering; it renders the sounds starkly and concretely associated with their bodily sources. There is no attempt to enlist virtuosity to transcend the instrument, to make a piano sound either happy or sad according to a recognizable code.
The exhibition text’s comparison of silence and space is a more fruitful theoretical joining of the disciplines, but the leap from sound to space is not so easily made technically. I found the audio volume in the “specially designed listening room” frustratingly low and uneven. Sitting there on a rainy day, I could hear the sniffles of other visitors better than the music. I kept getting distracted by someone talking in another room and only later realized that it was Cage’s “Lecture on Nothing” chiming in over Feldman’s “Projection I.” I think Cage of the “Radio Happenings” era wouldn’t have minded any of that — he thinks he wrote it all anyway. (Listen to 5:00–5:30 for that side of Cage and 0:00–2:15 for the backstory.) He probably wouldn’t even have minded when another visitor sitting in the room with me answered her phone (“…you’re a wonderful daughter, see you at the restaurant…”) and then made a few more calls (arranging meeting Dorothy and Thomas at the restaurant). But it’s a shame that the fast-ride-in-a-loud-machine that is Cage’s “Williams Mix” recedes into the silence of the gallery.
‘Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947–1962,’ installation view (image courtesy of Hauser & Wirth; photo by Genevieve Hanson)
Feldman’s music is particularly poorly served by the aural intrusions, but even more to the point, in this snapshot of New York c. 1950, the artifacts presented are incomparable. We look at the actual paintings and sculptures. We listen only to recordings of the music. Feldman’s “Projections I” is for cello, not a recording of a cello. The difference is as significant as that between a sculpture and a photograph of a sculpture. Cage once quipped, “I’ve always been a proper member of the musicians’ union, in favor of live music.”
Happily, the programing that accompanies the show offers two very different types of live performances. Coming up on March 16, Janine Antoni, Petah Coyne, Rona Pondick, and Jeanne Silverthorne will read from Louise Bourgeois’s writings at Hauser & Wirth’s 22nd St. publications space. On March 1, Christian Wolff curated a performance of music by Cage, Feldman, and himself at the Jewish Museum that presented nine works dating from 1950 to 1956 and Wolff’s “Six Melodies Variation” (1993), which was written as part of a memorial after Cage’s death in 1992. Wolff, who met Cage and Feldman in 1950 when Wolff was only 16, heard a couple of these pieces for the first time. In fact, it was Wolff who gave Cage a copy of the I-Ching, which Cage used to compose “Music of Changes III” (1951). At the beginning of the program, Doug Dreishpoon asked the 100+ person audience how many people had seen the exhibition — about five of us raised our hands. From listening to the chatter around me, it seemed that this was a crowd of music lovers. Where were the art lovers? I wonder how many experimental music fans will go to see the sculpture and painting.

Nothing and Everything: Seven Artists, 1947–1962 continues at Hauser and Wirth (32 East 69th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan) through April 1.

Under a Cloud is a portrait of the artist’s mother, Regina Silverthorne (1926-2011). The figure was modeled by hand in polymer clay, using photographs for reference, sewing needles for sculpting tools, and several magnifying lenses for enhanced visibility. Once completed, the clay figure was then cast in rubber. The “cloud” is an image of the depression from which the subject suffered. It too is rubber. Finally, the actual hair of the subject was glued on, one strand at a time.
Hair was also sent to laboratories for DNA analysis, providing both a matrilineal ancestry report, showing where Regina’s DNA had been geographically for the last 15,00 to 18,000 years, and her genetic fingerprint, that part of her DNA that was unique. These DNA reports are an unseen component of the finished portrait.
Under a Cloud is one of a series of cast rubber portraits made between 2000 and 2015 that similarly used small scale and DNA information to convey vulnerability, loss, and continuance. They constitute one aspect of a melancholy archeology of the ruined studio, haunted by vanished voices.
—Jeanne Silverthorne, New York, New York, April 2016
See work by Silverthorne and twenty-six other artists in Defining Sculpture, which offers a perspective on the medium’s remarkable development and hybridity from the postwar years to the present. The exhibition is on view at the Albright-Knox through October 9, 2016.
Image: Jeanne Silverthorne (American, born 1950). Detail of Under a Cloud, 2003.
