Sarah Sze: How We See the World | Art21 "Extended Play"
Ойын-сауық
Episode 233: Sarah Sze expresses her desire to have a tactile relationship with materials in a world saturated with digital imagery. In describing today’s visual culture, Sze says, "You don’t know the authorship of an image when it gets to you, you can manipulate it and you can send it-it's a kind of images as debris." For her 2015 exhibition at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Sze amplified and countered this contemporary experience through her installation "Second Studio". By arranging paint skins, torn paper images, and other materials such as wood, thread, and rocks, Sze explored our fragmented relationship to illusionistic images by focusing our attention on each object's materiality. "We have so much illusion but we don't have touch and we don't have taste and we don’t have smell-we don’t have that intimacy with images."
Sarah Sze builds her installations and intricate sculptures from the minutiae of everyday life, imbuing mundane materials, marks, and processes with surprising significance. Combining domestic detritus and office supplies into fantastical miniatures, she builds her works, fractal-like, on an architectural scale. Whether adapting to a venue or altering the urban fabric, Sze's patchwork compositions mirror the improvisational quality of cities, balancing whimsy with ecological themes of interconnectivity and sustainability.

Great work,very fascinating and beautiful at the same time, just seeing the colors bend is ecstatic, Wow!
Wonderful materiality ... thank you
So many ignorant negative comments. This is spacial exhibit of art. You must be in that room to understand what is going on, what the artist may have intended to enlighten you with. You cannot get anything from viewing this on a "flat plane, back-lit screen"
I like it
I felt this was conceptually overly contrived but had a lack luster execution.
its not just ripped up paper hanging from fish line , its not just plywood standing up ....its art
Y'all in the comments really love to gatekeep don't you? Art is subjective, art can be anything. While it does seem quite convoluted (and personally I have no interest for it), I wouldn't go as far as to say it's not art.

You want art? Look at Anish Kapoor. Look at Ann Hamilton. Look at Bill Viola. Look at Martin Puryear. Look at Richard Serra. Look at Richard Tuttle. Look at Maya Lin. Art with meat on its bones.
I'm going to hang my blouse outside with one clothespin and call it art....
art?
This give real art a bad name.
