Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net September 16, 2005 2:46 PM Hi Matt - Was really great to see you. And to meet other people from the studio seems like an awesome group. Would love to stop by. Thanks for the bird - and the pears. Glad to hear that Ryle is doing so well. Just looking through those binoculars gave me some good thoughts. If you get that scope, let me know. I imagine a set up on an adjacent rooftop involving dwarves. It would be so easy and so mean to throw someones clothes over the edge...Did you ever see The Penalty with Lon Chaney? He plays an amputee, very angry and sinister. I havent considered stopping drawing. But I have thought about doing something different - in a different arena. A vocational vacation - of sorts. How long are you here for? Im here through the weekend. xxchloe On 9/16/05 10:31 PM, "Minty4321@aol.com" wrote: hey, likewise,, that was excellent. had a great time all night. made me realize that i really miss new york. i could actually imagine hiring some people in a nearby apartment from time to time to do things that i could watch from my window that would amuse me. so much nicer than looking for pleasure on the internet. i'm leaving for toronto tomorrow (film fest), but coming back same night...hoping i might have the energy to go from the airport straight to redhook to see kahnate concert. we'll see. around sunday, though. give a call if you're going to kahnate, as it would influence my energy. see you soon, mb Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net Re: Hi Matt September 17, 2005 12:50 PM Hi matt.

On 9/18/05 10:59 PM, "Minty4321@aol.com" hey, sorry i missed your mail till now. tried to return your text message, but i suck at that and not sure if it went thru.? no, didn't go to khanate. was exhausted on way back from airport but was somehow compelled to stop and see a movie. i saw 'grizzly man' by werner herzog. fucking excellent. hilarious and mind bending, both. i feel like a sponge right now. it's a good feeling. M Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net Hi matt September 28, 2005 11:03 PM hi matt i sent you something to the studio. one thing i wanted to tell you about - when i am in hotel rooms i like to make drawings on whatevers around of things to build. ive got three: a tower, a cabin and a tree house. the first two are built into the side of a mountain/hill and have a large underground hall as a main room. the tower is like a light house - but all 3 are in the woods - landlocked. i havent really worked out the tree house because you need really enormous trees and i havent seen too many. but the other two have gotten very detailed - down to the built in bed fixtures in the guest rooms and the design of the closets. im looking at property upstate this november - halfway taking the month off - and looking at studio space in berlin. sort of a ridiculous split but as much as i love it my space in nyc is too small - and im taking advantage of not having a gallery in nyc at this moment. did you see the brothers grimm? great tower & good trees. Xxc minty4321@aol.com Re: Hi matt September 30, 2005 8:48 AM hey, this sounds excellent. maybe you could show me?? i'm surely a big advocate of following this path. the more eccentric the condition, the finer the harvest.. korea's pretty cool so far. jet lag is kicking my ass, though. i brought my daughter so I couldn't do the sleeping pill number on the plane. what a huge difference. having fun with her, though. i'll be back in late oct/nov for a treehouse visit if it's offered. over, m Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net Grandpa Death October 26, 2005 9:33 AM Hey matt - sure - come and take a look. i just bulldozed through LA/London and got a lousy cold in the process. But being home is having a curative effect. As well as the wintry weather - I'm into it. Saw many many shows in London as well as the big spectacular opening of Ecstasy at MOCA. It was meant to be a sort of rave. Psychedelia and optical effects. Confetti flying everywhere. I was pretty into all the the eco styling I saw in Topanga canyon – houses stacked upwards, some of them really teetering at the edge. Xxc On 10/26/05 9:49 AM, "Minty4321@aol.com" shit, i was in london, too. would have been cool to see you. i saw macarthy only (other than a quick trip thru the artfair). paul has given up editing. not sure how i feel about that. was nice to be in london, though. saw some old friends. the rave show in l.a. sounds lame, was it? see you in nov. stateside, mb Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net Re: Grandpa Death October 30, 2005 10:27 AM hi matt That would have been fun. There was a lot happening. I am going today to get a new camera because i lost mine in london. Will take pictures of trees up in Ithaca later next week – doing a talk at Cornell. Rave - yes - lame. I saw a lot of charred earth in the aftermath of a forest fire in Simi Valley. Bald and charred. For miles. McCarthy - drawings interesting but the sculptures, very polite. i would have liked it better if he had just thrown them all into a big heap. xxc Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net Hi matt a question about video people in Asia November 18, 2005 9:34 AM Hi Matt My friend at Phaidon is drumming up ideas for curators and writers for Vitamin V (video) she was asking me about interesting people, thinkers, curators in Asia who might be tapped in to work happening there.

Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net ps November 13, 2006 10:46 AMps thanks for the protein. xc minty4321@aol.com Re: hinge question mmastrubator November 14, 2006 6:41 PM hi chloe, i've asked ann about the hinges, and yes it had been rehinged. in fact she thought (but not completely sure) that it was rehinged twice. first time by the whitney conservation dept. when the drawing was in the biennial. she was told this by someone who no longer works here. second time when it fell here, the hinges were loosened and so were replaced when it was reglazed. sounds like the hinging material is wrong? would you like the hinges to be changed to a different type? another question: for the philadelphia exhibition date, what should we say is the deadline for conservation completion/shipping deadline? best, m minty4321@aol.com Re: hinge question mmastrubator November 15, 2006 12:44 PM cool, thanks for this info. sounds like step 1: bring cut velum tests to scheidemann to see what he can do. i discussed this with him and he's up for the challenge. step 2: present the tests to you. you decide if you want the restoration done. step 3: photograph the piece while it is out of its frame. step 4: bring the work to a/z so lim can rehinge. step 5: complete by shipping deadline of dec 13 approx. minty4321@aol.com> Re: framing specs November 16, 2006 5:26 PM hi chloe, a little update. seems that schiedemann has thrown his back out since i saw him last week. his top 2d conservator, jonhanna, is going to come down to look at the drawing and to bring a test swatch back to the lab. in the meantime ann will contact another paper conservator in the event that christian's back prohibits the work. i'm over in iceland now, but not out of the loop. ann gale at my studio will keep you posted as she gets more feedback and test results for you to look at. it's fucking cold here, mb minty4321@aol.com Re: Thursday November 21, 2006 10:05 AM takes about 5 hours to cook. planning to start fire around 1:00, drinking beer by 2:00, serving stags at 7:00. come..it will be fun. instructions below...or alternatively, there will be a van leaving from my studio at 4:30pm with a bunch of people. 39 woods road palisades, ny 10964 845 398 2220 from manhattan: -take west side highway to george washingon bridge -take upper level of bridge -just after crossing bridge exit onto palisades parkway north -proceed on palisades parkway north to exit 4 -turn left at bottom of exit ramp onto route 9 north -proceed on route 9 north to first traffic light and turn right on washington springs -proceed to first left turn onto woods road -about 6 houses in on woods road come to number 39 on the right: it's a tall stone house with a green copper roof BUS: -take “route 9” bus from port authority to “oak tree road/9W” stop, then: -turn right on washington springs -after 50 yards, take first left turn onto woods road -about 6 houses in on woods road come to number 39 on the right: it's a tall stone house with a green copper roof BUS SCHEDULE FROM NYC TO PALISADES http://www.coachusa.com/rockland/ss.details.asp? action=Lookup&c1=New+York&s1=NY&c2=Palisades&s2=NY&resultId=9413&order=&dayFilter=&sched uleChoice=&sitePageName=%2Frockland%2Findex%2Easp&cbid=149361950460 BUS SCHEDULE FROM PALISADES TO NEW YORK http://www.coachusa.com/rockland/ss.details.asp? action=Lookup&c1=Palisades&s1=NY&c2=New+York&s2=NY&resultId=9654&order=&dayFilter=&sched uleChoice=&sitePageName=%2Frockland%2Findex%2Easp&cbid=832237417456v Chloe Piene c.piene@verizon.net hi matt November 23, 2006 10:43 AM roasting stags is in league with getting wasted on mead and merging with the dagda definitely beats jumping over a log and stabbing a pig shaped cake (true story) i think im going to take your bus - looking forward!! xchloe From: "chloe" c.piene@verizon.net Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:47:02 To:"Matthew Barney" Minty4321@aol.com Subject: True spirit!

This hour long show combines elements of history, archeology, and forensic research in unraveling the ‘mysteries’ of numerous grim historical events. Several weeks ago, one segment investigated the ‘secret graveyards’ of organized crime, specifically, a location in the borough of Queens, New York. In the final scenes, the skeletal remains of gang members murdered in the early 80’s were unearthed. Through these somber images, I reconnected to my encounter with Chloe Piene’s sculpture, whose exhibition at Gasser & Grunert in Chelsea had closed a few weeks earlier.The human skull, that timeless logo of death, is having an especially good year both in and out of the arts. Here in Manhattan, poor Yorrick advertises a production of Hamlet, while on ‘The Simpsons’ one of Bart’s trio of tormentors at Springfield elementary sports death’s head on a black t shirt. And there’s that Damien Hirst. Hirst, like other art provocateurs periodically gets it exactly right, as did Warhol’s ‘Disaster’ series, which offered up a ‘little death’ during Pop’s euphoric zenith. Hirst is Hirst, but his diamond encrusted platinum skull, may be, as Carl Andre once noted (about Warhol) the art we deserve right now. Hirst’s stated admiration of Mexican Christian and pre-colonial religious iconography, assures his ordination into a select, male priesthood of artists who transforms that which is without value into the eternal, piss into gold. Piene cites the influence of Joseph Beuys in her work, and his presence is felt here primarily in the automatism of her drawings. Along with Warhol, Beuys was one of the ‘catholic’ of 20th century artists. No matter how contrived, his ‘death’ and resurrection on the Russian front is potent myth central in the construct of (maybe) the greatest messiah complex in contemporary art. Apart from his performances, what Beuys left behind appears to be disintegrating in the virtrine/relicquary, awaiting reanimation. The dead, as a million zombie movies confirm, shall walk again. Beuys’s gaunt features (I witnessed his ‘Coyote’ performance at Rene Block Gallery in ‘74) suggested Mary Shelly’s shambling, romantic monster- wearing a hat and a fisherman’s vest. Curiously, it is Warhol’s (no picture of health himself) uneven production that resonates in his absence, and we have instituted his saintly musings as the Word of Andy. Both Beuys and Warhol share incidents in their biographies where they returned from the dead, but only one’s art still ‘lives’One hopes that Chloe Piene will never, or has not, suffered the trauma of either Joseph or Andy; her art reaches further back to the macabre tendencies of the Northern renaissance, and earlier. The charcoal drawings could read like Bronze Age eroticism, also channeling the bitter Grosz and the twisted DeKooning, among others. But my real engagement was with her sculpture, every one of which could stand as a study for some unspeakably dark monument. These untitled assemblages of plastilina, wax, wood and plastic, maintained a clammy, fresh from the studio appearance. They, of course, are of skulls, modeled by hand and built up from casts of teeth, or maybe jawbone. Some pieces are formed into clumps, while others appear halted in the process of excavation, recalling that dank mafia resting place. Piene’s skulls hold us at a cautious distance, and a visit to this smart gallery unexpectedly becomes a hushed tour through a catacombs. As suggested by her ‘Golem’ drawing, inert materials can be, through occult practices, transformed into living tissue. But nothing is living or breathing here. There is also a unmistakable resemblance to fecal matter in several of the works. What creature could have produced such deposits? – The actor gobbling Tyrannosaurus Rex in ‘Jurassic Park?’Simultaneously waste material, carnage, grotesque décor, and self portraiture, Chloe Piene advances the long history of the skull in art, moving it beyond juvenilia. Someone said recently that ‘the sword is not an antique’, and we need not worry about the skull becoming one either; it is a growth industry.

Yeah St Anns is a good place. It's not as 'creative community' based as it used to be. since it has become such a desirable private school, and high school students are being placed well in universities, there's more of the professional world families moving in (i think this has been the case over the last 10 years). super competitive to get in. most all of the openings seem to go to siblings of current students, or alumns, or kids of teachers. few slots remain. all that said, it's still a really good environment. the kids there all seem really happy, and smart as hell. i definitely preferred the vibe there to other private schools i looked at. hey, i'm going to berlin from dec 10 to 18. will you be there?
