Julianne Swartz is a sculpture whisperer. She simultaneously transforms the gallery into a sound garden, landscape of strangeness, and field of sensation. Using mainly magnets, teeny speakers that produce cricket-ish sounds, wooden rods, and cement embedded with flecks of mica or containing hidden tick-tocking clock movements, Swartz channels her inner John Cage. We get a Zen rush of wonder, noticing poles hovering in midair or leaning against but not touching walls, arrangements that turn into silicon-based families, chairs that balance against all odds. It all adds up to a quiet storm. — Jerry Saltz
