VICKI SIEGEL

''"SARAH SZE"''


Vicki Siegel talked aboutthe life and work of Sarah Sze, a contemporary artist who lives and works in New York City. Sze uses ordinary objects to create sculptures and site-specific installations. She was the United States Representative for the Venice Biennale, the 55th International Art Exhibition, in 2013. Sarah earned a Ba from Yale university with a major in architecture and painting,and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. Since the late 1990s, she is known for ephemeral installations that penetrate walls, suspend from ceilings and burrow into the ground. she creates immense, intricate site-specific works which manipulate every space—be that a gallery, domestic interior or street corner—and profoundly affects the way it is viewed. Sze's practice exists at the intersection of sculpture, painting and architecture where her formal interest in light, air and movement is coupled with an intuitive understanding of color and texture. Sze utilizes a myriad of everyday objects in her installations, presented as leftovers or traces of human behavior.
