Riverside Silos by Ricardo Barros

There are three silos just outside my studio door. They contain Portland cement, freshly come by ship from South Korea, across several oceans and up the Delaware River. Two silos are spherical, the other more of a cylinder. Immediately in front of them is a small, brick pumping station. It is nearly a perfect cube, capped with a roof comprised of four triangles. Off to the side are mountains of salt, floated in from Chile.

Visitors arriving at my studio are often startled to discover the silos’ existence, even though the containers are visible from a distance. These silos are so huge as to be inseparable from the landscape. They seemingly have always been there. It is, in fact, their enormity that disorders one’s perspective. First, they creep onto the horizon. Then, as one approaches, they overwhelm everything in their presence.

Although Duchamp had collected manufactured objects in his studio in Paris, it was not until he came to New York that he identified them as a category of art, giving the English name “Readymade” to any object purchased “as a sculpture already made.” When he modified these objects, for example by mounting a bicycle wheel on a kitchen stool, he called them “Assisted Readymades.” Duchamp later recalled that the original Bicycle Wheel was created as a “distraction”: “I enjoyed looking at it, just as I enjoy looking at the flames dancing in a fireplace.”
