Sarah Sze was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1969. She now lives and works in New York, where she is a professor of art at Columbia University. Sze graduated from School of Visual Arts, MFA, New York in 1997 and Yale University, BA, New Haven, CT in 1991. Sarah is a contemporary artist who builds installations and sculptures from everyday materials, including found objects, plants, photographs, wiring, food detritus, office supplies, electric lights, fans, water systems, houseplants, birthday candles, Q-Tips, and Aspirin. Sze constructs her work by hand, building intricate and often gravity-defying towers that fill their exhibition space. Her works are absolutely beautiful and most of them look as if time has stopped as the objects explode. As if something is growing and decaying. It makes for an interesting, but a pretty piece.
Centrifuge
Her work often takes on architectures, transforming space through radical shifts of scale or colonizing overlooked and peripheral spaces. Sze sees the sculpture as evidence of behavior and she leaves her own raw process of experimentation apparent in her work. As a result, her pieces often seem to hover in a transitional state, as if caught between growing and dying. Captured in this suspension, the works become self-perpetuating systems, seemingly capable of aspiration, decay, and renewal. Within her practice, the sculpture becomes both a device for organizing and dismantling information and a mechanism to locate and dislocate oneself in time and space. It can leave you waiting for something to happen, as though it may actually happen or not.

I found her very interesting, mainly because of the beauty of the suspended sculptures and her “The Last Garden.” It seems as though she uses nature and landscapes a lot in her work. The themes most often used in her work include ecology, interconnectivity, and labor. Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Interconnectivity refers to the state or quality of being connected together, or to the potential to connect in an easy and effective way.
Things Fall Apart
Sze is the recipient of numerous honors, including a 2003 MacArthur Fellowship and representing the United States at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Her work is collected in the Guggenheim New York, Museum of Modern Art in New York, The New Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others. Recent important solo exhibitions include Tanya Bonakdar in 2015, Fabric Workshop and Museum in 2014, and the Asia Society in 2011. In 2016, her mural “Blueprint for a Landscape” was completed for the 96th Street 2nd Avenue subway platform in New York.
