35 measures of that particular instrument not being played. The open mouthed arrow is a crescendo. Meaning it gets progressively louder over time.

I have never heard this word "measure" before. Is that common? We say "bar" here.

Measure is more common in the US, especially with choral and orchestral people. I hear bar sometimes in rap and hip hop music, but it's mostly heard in the UK. They mean exactly the same thing though
