Jeanne Silverthorne / Lynn Hershman September 4 - September 28, 2023 Jeanne Silverthorne Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Jeanne Silverthorne. Jeanne Silverthorne will present new work in her second show at Gallery Paule Anglim (the first in 1995.) Using cast rubber, the artist molds shapes from observations of both her studio and herself. Wide-ranging in size and scale, her sculptures represent literal renderings of objects in her studio or of parts of the body. She presents her objects as elements in a system of careful analysis or communication: sometimes as pictures in cast-rubber frames, sometimes as parts of a network of rubber pipes and wires. The new scale or context can render images unrecognizable and abstract, placing them in a new poetic realm of subjective interpretation. Jeanne Silverthorne has exhibited in many galleries and museums in Europe and the United States. One-person exhibitions include installations at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Williams College Art Museum. A reception for the artist will take place on Thursday, September 5, from 5:30 to 7:30pm, at Gallery Paule Anglim. Lynn Hershman Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Lynne Hershman. Lynn Hershman will present a new digital sculpture, Bell Jar , featuring the live image of a cyborg woman whose movements are fed though an internet connection, contained within the glass jar. Complementing the sculpture will be a group of wall-mounted light boxes, all digital photographic images of the artist's well-known cyborgs. Lynn Hershman has gained international recognition for her work in video, photography and new digital media. She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe and is a recipient of the Siemens International Media Award (with Jean Beaudrillard and Peter Greenaway), as well as the Flintridge Foundation Award for Lifetime Achievement. Lynn Hershman has recently released her second commercial release, feature- Length film, Teknolust starring Tilda Swinton playing multiple roles as a scientist and the several cyborg women she created in a comedic confused virtual reality. The artist's first feature film, Conceiving Ada, released in 1998, builds an imaginative narrative around the meeting, through the internet, of a present-day woman, and Ada, Lord Byron's daughter (and the 19th Century inventor of our binary computer system.) A reception for the artist will take place on Thursday, September 5, from 5:30 to 7:30pm, at Gallery Paule Anglim. |
