SARAH SZE, CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
Sarah Sze was born in Boston in 1969 and now lives and works in New York City. She was educated in New Haven at Yale and at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her style of work can be described as flowing structures of conglomerations of various items. She fills galleries and interior spaces with her art. Her works remind me of “scatter toys” but with an ephemeral cohesion to their design using every day household objects, the leftovers of human lives. Large scale constructions of her patterns ascend the negative space of an open stair case. An atrium is transformed into an escape. Site specific architectural spaces she works in demand different approaches, yet her results retain her signature style. (www.cmoa.org/international/
To fund her ability to continue her art, Sarah Sze applied for and was awarded many grants and fellowships. In 2003, Sarah was awarded the MacArthur Fellows Program “genius grant.” Also, she has taught at School of Visual Arts, MFA, New York, and Yale and Columbia Universities. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/
She has had numerous exhibits and projects on her own and also with groups worldwide. And has collections in the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Guggenheim Museum, New York; The New Museum, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; National Gallery of Victoria, Australia; Cartier Foundation, Paris; and the 21st Century Museum of Art, Kanazawa, Japan, to name a few.
