April 16, 2024yes is the only living thing is included in Traces, an artist book/zine exhibition produced by Field Projects in New York. Curator Angelica Aranda writes:

The word “trace” suggests a sense of neutrality regarding the categorization of imprints others have left on us and the imprints we may leave on others. A term that can be applied to both positive or negative connections to past events, but always declares the presence of some sort of lasting impression. The word trace also suggests the ability to track the source of a connection. Traces encapsulate these various impressions resulting from a variety of life events inflicted upon our artists. The trace of a lost loved one, a traumatic childhood, or the trace of leaving (or losing) a home are just a few examples of the body of work exhibited. What traces do we carry and what traces are we actively creating for others in the present time? I invite the viewer to absorb each artwork with the understanding of the human inability to forget. This collection displays a wide variety of experiences, some positive, some negative, and some bittersweet, but all undeniably present.

The exhibition runs from April 30th – May 5th with a closing reception on Saturday, May 4th.

April 13, 2011 – I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Jordan Edwards at The Gazette about my work.  Edwards writes:

By the time Alexandra Silverthorne graduated from Connecticut College in 2002, she had two passions: politics and photography. As an artist, she combines them to create pieces that play with the idea of environment and how politics affect space. Her work reflects time spent at Connecticut College and the Maine College of Art.

Photographs on display at BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown are more personal. The “A Building in Which” collage series includes images from five houses. Some are familiar to Silverthorne, others are not.

A few days after the opening of her show with Erin Antognoli and Beamie Young, the Washington, D.C., native talks about photographing the space around her, returning to film and life in New England.

May 27, 2010 – Nicholas Schroeder reviews the 2010 Maine College of Art MFA Thesis Exhibition in The Portland Phoenix:

Encompassing a broad range of themes, media, and levels of participation, each set of works in this year’s Maine College of Art exhibition by nine thesis-level Master’s of Fine Arts students achieves its own world and requires a separate toolkit to process and unpack.

The 16 pillars in the Congress Street window gallery belong to “Ten Miles Square,” Alexandra Silverthorne’s photographic investigation of the topographic origins and evolution of the Washington DC boundary. In an accompanying book of photographs laid accordion-style, Silverthorne exhaustively captures the present-day life seen from each of the 40 sandstone markers that have delineated DC since 1792. With each page offering four photographs taken from each marker, Silverthorne constructs a bioecological negative image of how the stones regard the capital, emphasizing quotidian existence over political boundary.


April 13, 2010 – I recently published my MFA thesis:

Interested in the ever-changing nature of space and place, I use photography as a means to understand and explore spatial environments and encounters. By presenting a review of my own recent projects, as well as a brief investigation into the ideas and terms that have influenced these projects, this thesis situates my practice within the framework of this conceptual language. Especially attracted to theories of perception, presence, and disorientation in relation to how we experience space, this thesis focuses on my most recent project, Ten Miles Square. By using the original boundary stones of Washington, DC as a starting point, Ten Miles Square challenges common notions of the capital city by highlighting the everyday, lived perspective of local residents.
