“These works are haunting lamentations for an unknown subject. In contrast to the elegy’s lyrical shaping of a voice, its calling out, the ambiguity of Elsa Gramcko’s works can make them feel muffled, almost unheard.”

John Yau reviews Elsa Gramcko: The Invisible Plot of Things at James Cohan Gallery.

Elsa Gramcko (1925–1994) was a Venezuelan artist, known as an abstract sculptor and painter. Her earlier works, which date from 1954, were geometric paintings, while her later works were more tachist in nature. While her earlier works consisted of mostly paintings, she expanded into sculpture and assemblage in the 1960s and 1970s.

"'Elsa Gramcko: The Invisible Plot of Things' closed yesterday @jamescohangallery but the catalog is worth waiting for. ⁠ @johnyaupoet reviews the show @hyperallergic and writes of the book, "If you cannot see the show, do yourself a favor and buy the accompanying catalogue, with contributions by @gabriela_rangel_m (who edited it), @invisible.flaneuse and Luis Felipe Farîas⁠ ⁠ Yau writes: "Gramcko (1925–1994) was a prolific, visionary self-taught artist. During a career that lasted less than 25 years, from the mid-1950s to the late ’70s, she made paintings, assemblages, wall reliefs, and sculptures. Decay, disintegration, hidden spaces, and oracular and totemic presences are among the subjects she explored. She recognized that Venezuela’s dependency on oil to drive its economy would lead to catastrophe, as the last decade has borne out. As Ramírez wrote in the catalogue accompanying the Houston exhibition: 'Although she was not among the first artists of the region to engage machines, she was a pioneer in incorporating machine parts and industrial trash as part of a broader critique of humankind’s flawed embrace of technology.'"⁠ ⁠ Forthcoming in April from Cohan and @sicardiayersbacino 'Elsa Gramcko: The Invisible Plot of Things' is the first substantial monograph on the artist.⁠ ⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #elsagramcko #theinvisibleplotofthings #gramcko https://www.instagram.com/p/CovPu7Wpa5j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elsa Gramcko (Venezuelan, 1925-1994) In the early sixties her work turned from abstract painting to including sculptural elements: what she called ‘Experiments of Lyrical Abstraction’ on assemblages of wood and her ‘Accumulators’ with gear pieces where a found industrial object takes the fore with a material background made with oxides.

Carlos Sánchez wrote ". . . these works coincide in showing us a sublimation of the object, a transmutation that leads it from the sad condition of waste, to the transcendent living presence of time that matter acquires when it is transformed into a vital element for creation . . . A journey in two times: from the time of the everyday to the time of the immortal . . .”
