Image: Jeanne Silverthorne Pneuma Machine 2005

Description: Sculptural installation by Jeanne Silverthorne, Pneuma Machine (in daylight and glowing in the dark), kinetic rubber sculpture, dimensions variable, 2005. The image illustrates a key body of work in Jeanne Silverthorne's career that began in the early 1990s, when she began presenting sprawling arrangements of cast, excavated studio objects, often forming Rube Goldberg-like systems or organisms that were unified by snaking skeins of wires, cables and tubes connected to cast outlets, transformers and fuse boxes. Later works, such as this one, incorporated kinetic elements and phosphorescent material. These works were exhibited in galleries and museums such as the Whitney and discussed widely by prominent publications and critics cited in the article.
