Sarah Sze

the long version

"Architecture and the city are at the heart of Sarah Sze's work. In both the materials she uses and the forms she constructs, her installations are a dizzying metaphor for the urban fabric's shifting and improvised nature. Her flowing structures consist of a litany of small-scale household items - for the most part relics discarded by industrial civilization, or modest, domestic objects such as brushes, screws, and toothpicks - that respond to and infiltrate the surrounding architecture." "Sze's inventive and mature output has aroused enormous international interest. Here, for the first time, is an entire record of Sze's extraordinary and highly acclaimed body of work since her first show in New York in 1996"--Jacket.
