Director’s Statement<br />
So much of the art that has endured through time has been seen as both<br />
complex and conceptually mysterious. One thinks of Diego Velasquez’s<br />
great work “Las Meninas,” which continues to enthrall and engage us in unraveling<br />
its spatial mysteries. We might consider as well the paintings of<br />
Cezanne which seem never to reveal the visual magic that the modern master<br />
employed. The works of <strong>Larry</strong> <strong>Kagan</strong> present no less of a mystery.<br />
These are works that entice us to get involved on multiple levels. The physical<br />
aspect of the work with its highly complex linear elements of twisted<br />
metal are reminiscent of the compositions so identified with the drawings<br />
of Jackson Pollock. And like Pollock, the lines are purposeful, but unlike any<br />
artist in history, <strong>Kagan</strong>’s lines make possible a shadowed image of total<br />
shock and surprise. This imagery which exists in shadowed form only appears<br />
as alchemy. How is it that a totally abstract linear physical composition<br />
could make possible a recognizable image of perfect clarity?<br />
In a sense, <strong>Larry</strong> <strong>Kagan</strong>’s work is not only about formal art; it is also<br />
about visual phenomenology. We look, we question, and then we look<br />
again. And while this would be a proper process for the enjoyment and<br />
deeper appreciation of all art, it is a requirement for this art. Even though<br />
<strong>Kagan</strong> might ask much from his viewers, what we gain from the work is<br />
worth the journey.<br />

Object/Shadow: Notes on<br />
a Developing Art Form*<br />
Object/shadow is my term for a new category<br />
of sculpture that I have been working<br />
on for the past dozen years. The term defines<br />
a condition wherein a solid component<br />
of the sculpture casts a specific shadow that<br />
completes the artwork. <strong>Sculpture</strong> traditionally<br />
relies on mass to create its form.<br />
Shadow-art derives primarily from the novelty<br />
of the silhouette. Object/shadow need<br />
both the solid and the shadow in order to<br />
exist. And, by virtue of their dual nature,<br />
they exhibit surprising visual behavior that<br />
defies our visualization rules for objects…<br />

Drawing with Steel<br />
…To be seen effectively, my steel assemblages<br />
required a neutral backdrop - a wall.<br />
I began to “draw” with steel on the wall,<br />
shamelessly stealing at least a few of my<br />
teacher Stankiewicz’† ideas. I saw how he<br />
hung his steel constructions on the wall,<br />
leaving their interior elements energized,<br />
and I did likewise. Putting steel fragments<br />
on a wall brought them nearer to the viewers,<br />
and allowed the sculptural elements to<br />
utilize pictorial language for expressive and<br />
narrative purposes. I also learned about<br />
scale from Richard. The intimacy of the<br />
work had power because it could be seen<br />
up close by the viewer - where tactility matters,<br />
and where the rich surface of the steel<br />
could do its work…<br />
† Richard Stankiewicz (1923 -1983) was a recognized American<br />
Abstract Expressionist Assemblage Artist<br />
…Using shadows in a narrative fashion is<br />
not a mainstream art practice. Even now,<br />
there are probably no more than a dozen<br />
artists who are working in this medium and<br />
fewer who have achieved any significant visibility.<br />
Art dealers and curators are also at a<br />
loss when it comes to shadows…<br />

Drawing with Shadow<br />
The act of drawing ordinarily requires picking<br />
up a pencil and making a mark on a surface.<br />
The mark is normally invested with<br />
some visual information. To draw with<br />
shadow, you suspend something in space<br />
that will interrupt a beam of light to make a<br />
mark. Instead of executing a drawing stroke,<br />
you suspend or attach a cantilever…<br />
…While making a mark on a piece of paper<br />
is automatic, making a shadow mark entails<br />
a physical building process that requires<br />
stepping back and applying an extra level of<br />
analysis. This involves much more work, but<br />
it also opens up new creative possibilities…<br />
this is where the fun comes in. By not having<br />
a one-to-one mapping between shadow<br />
and object, all kinds of new object/shadow<br />
relationships become possible…<br />

The Role of Shadow in<br />
Cognition<br />
…We are more or less aware of the presence<br />
of shadows, since they tell us something<br />
about our environment, but we do<br />
not actually look at them - unless they call<br />
attention to themselves by some unfamiliar<br />
or unexpected behavior. My challenge was<br />
to induce viewers to actually look at the<br />
shadow rather than solely at the steel. I<br />
began shifting more of the narrative burden<br />
to shadow. The more content the eyes<br />
could detect in the shadow, the more time<br />
and attention they would expend on exploring<br />
its details…<br />
Taking Aim, 2002
Discoveries<br />
…simply finding that it was possible to give<br />
both shadow and solid equal and complementary<br />
visual roles in describing a single<br />
image was a step forward.<br />
…a “new kind of thing”: an object that is<br />
half solid and half shadow - a hybrid. Imagine<br />
an object/shadow line drawing of a<br />
cube. Half is drawn in steel and half in<br />
shadow. Together they constitute a complete<br />
cube. Simple to be sure, but there are<br />
no objects like this in nature.<br />
Cone, 2000<br />

Speculations<br />
…One curious element is the degree to<br />
which each point of the object/shadow is<br />
related to the others. Exactly how many coordinates<br />
and data points are required to<br />
completely describe and locate each point in<br />
space? If all of the variables such as the x,y,<br />
and z coordinates of the steel, the angle of<br />
inclination, distance and beam spread of the<br />
light, and the permeability of the medium<br />
that the light is traveling through are<br />
counted, do they indicate that these works<br />
occupy something other than a simple<br />
three-dimensional space?...<br />
I generally like to hang these object/shadow<br />
in my studio with their light sources turned<br />
off, pleased just to know that there is something<br />
lurking—a mystery.<br />

CHASING <strong>SHADOW</strong>S<br />
Shadow play has been <strong>Larry</strong> <strong>Kagan</strong>’s obsession for the past dozen years or<br />
so, when he first began making Object/Shadow—his term for his singular,<br />
spectacular steel wall sculptures/drawings that combine the fixed and the<br />
transient, the two and three-dimensional, mass and the insubstantial, the<br />
one an avatar of the other and co-dependent. They are two-part<br />
inventions—the steel the “conundrum, the pre-cognition, and delivery<br />
system” while the shadow is the unexpected, ephemeral response. It’s a<br />
“push in two directions,” <strong>Kagan</strong> says, “with a certain dissonance.” He has<br />
observed that people are only peripherally conscious of shadows in nature;<br />
they do not really notice them. If the shadow is missing in a representation,<br />
however, they will sense that something is wrong. “My challenge was to<br />
induce viewers to look at the shadow” and is a much more intricate and<br />
sophisticated version of the game that most likely every child has played,<br />
shaping fingers and fists illuminated by a source of light to create an array<br />
of figures on a blank wall.<br />
Shadow play has a long history. Imagine prehistoric cave dwellers<br />
huddled around a fire gazing at premonitory shadows cast on rocky walls,<br />
revering and replicating them or, jumping forward, consider Plato’s allegory<br />
of the cave in which its captive inhabitants mistook the shadows of things<br />
for the things themselves. Shadow theatre is also part of that venerable<br />
heritage, brought to Paris from the East in the 18 th century, and became a<br />
popular form of entertainment. Portrait silhouettes—essentially a shadow<br />
and related to cut-paper works—were also in vogue in Europe then and<br />
especially beloved by the Victorians, a genre updated in the projects of Kara<br />
Walker, Paul Chan, Tim Noble, Sue Webster and other contemporary<br />
artists.<br />

Lilly Wei
<strong>Kagan</strong>, however, a superb draftsman fascinated by line, wants to<br />
make a real drawing out of steel and shadow, one that is as detailed and<br />
subtly executed as its counterpart on paper, not merely an outline. He<br />
begins with the shadow, what he wants the image on the wall to be, then<br />
works out the configuration in steel. He uses scrap steel since he prefers<br />
commonplace, non-art materials that are readily available—a criterion<br />
inspired by his teacher Richard Stankiewicz—and his lighting is simple, MR<br />
16 low voltage track lights, based on the same principle. <strong>Kagan</strong> says he<br />
“goes out of his way to create the unexpected,” a visual, “encrypted”<br />
disconnect between the steel structure that, at times, resembles a tangled<br />
briar patch or even spaghetti and a shadow image that can be complex or<br />
simple.<br />
They are a hybridized positive/negative entity; the steel<br />
(contradicting its actuality) is the negative and the impermanent shadow is<br />
the positive. It’s not possible to determine the cast picture by the steel<br />
construct unless you know what you are looking for. Some of the simplest<br />
shadows—a filled-in, dark oval shape, a circle, and open circular loop with a<br />
double shadow (not in this show)—are the results of the most delirious steel<br />
formations. As his technique developed and his pictorial language became<br />
richer, he has been able to achieve ever more astonishing resolutions, from<br />
drawings of boxes within boxes, chairs, jet fighters, books to full-scale<br />
images of a basketball player in action or a dandy in a tuxedo. He has<br />
learned, for instance, how to make the shadow denser, curve it or straighten<br />
it, how to blur or sharpen lines so that they resemble ink, pencil, pastel or<br />
charcoal wall drawings. He can also vary the tonality of shadows in a single<br />
work so that they range from dark to light. One recent projection—the<br />
circular loop—consists of a lighter and darker circle, the former appearing<br />
to be casting a shadow of itself. Both, however, are insubstantial. The<br />
deception doubled—nothing casting a shadow of nothing—it glimmers as<br />
an apt metaphor for the illusion that is art.<br />
<strong>Kagan</strong> studied engineering in college before switching to art,<br />
preferring its freedom of expression, its lack of utility. Nonetheless, he<br />
approaches his production with a certain scientific methodology in which<br />
one work is the starting point for the next in a series of explorations of form<br />
and content. He has written that the constituent parts of his Object/Shadow<br />
“must serve three roles at once: as objects that have material characteristics<br />
(texture, sensuality); as specific forms that embody a living process (time,<br />
entropy); and as building blocks in a larger composition (narrative,<br />
content).” The tension created by these three roles clamoring for the<br />
viewer’s attention is what he is looking for. He also asks an intriguing<br />
question, based on the kind of space, time and light that comprise his<br />
Object/Shadow: Do these works occupy something other than a simple<br />
three-dimensional space? Whether it does and whatever else it is, it is a<br />
multi-dimensional experience, an arresting optical drama vested in the<br />
perceptual, phenomenological and philosophical that <strong>Kagan</strong>, engineer, artist<br />
and spellbinding magician, gleefully translates.<br />
