Sze's mixed-media works for the Nasher Sculpture Center call into question the definition of artistic mediums and how memory marks time and space

Published with Nasher Sculpture Center. Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze (born 1969) has been making mesmerizing installations that challenge the static nature of art and transform the spaces they inhabit. Appearing at once arbitrary and meticulously planned, in the midst of coming together and falling apart, her work contains layered references to the world's rapidly changing, image-driven digital present. Working across painting, sculpture, sound, print, drawing, video and architecture, Sze's work amplifies the myriad ephemeral details of contemporary life, making palpable poetry of the often-ineffable aspects of human experience. Three new installations, created for the spaces of the Nasher Sculpture Center, emphasize how experience is continually reshaped by the constant stream of visual information around us, and the role of memory in forming our perception. This lavishly illustrated publication documents these works and the 2024 exhibition and features more than 850 color photographs.
