Since the late 1990s, internationally acclaimed artist Sarah SzE (b. 1969) has developed a signature visual language that challenges the static nature of sculpture. Sze draws from Modernist traditions of the found object, dismantling thein authority with dynamic constellations of materials that are charged with flux, transformation and fragility. Captured in this suspension, her immersive and intricate works question the value society places on objects and how objects ascribe meaning to the places and times we inhabit. Coinciding with the explosion of information of the 21st Century, Sze's work simultaneously models and navigates the ceaseless proliferation of information in contemporary life lier encyclopedic installations unfold like a series of experiments that construct intimate systems of order-precarious ecologies in which material conveys meaning and a sense of loss. Widely recognized for challenging the boundaries of painting, installation and architecture, Sze's sculptural practice ranges from slight gestures discovered in hidden spaces to expansive installations thst scale walls and colonize architectures. Sze represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 2013, and was awarded a Macarthur Fellowship in 2003. She has exhibited in museums worldwide, and her works are held in the permanent collections of promirent institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, The Fondation Carter, Paris, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles Sze's work has been festured in The Whitney Biennial (2000), the Carnegie International (1999) and several international biennials, including Berlin (1998), Guangzhou (2015), Liverpool (2008), Lyon (2009), Sao Paulo (2002), and Venice (1999, 2013, and 2015) Sze has also created public works for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Walker Art Canton in Minneapolis, and the High Line in New York Sze was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and lives and works in New York In the Interview, Okwui Enwenor discusses with Sze her influences, motivations and the events that have defined her relationship with sculpture and architecture.
