File:Jeanne Silverthorne Pneuma Machine 2005.jpg

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.

The sculptural installation image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key, long-running body of work in Jeanne Silverthorne's career that began in the early 1990s: her sprawling arrangements of cast objects, often in the form of Rube Goldberg-like systems that were unified by snaking skeins of wires, cables and tubes connected to cast outlets, transformers and fuse boxes, and suggested defunct machines or organisms. These works were sometimes commissioned by museums such as the Whitney, Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, and ICA Boston, and explored the exhaustion of the modernist art project, inorganic versus organic, and functional versus functionless themes. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this type of work and key component of her studio project. Silverthorne's work of this type and this work in particular has been exhibited in prominent venues and discussed by prominent critics and publications cited in the article.
