Sarah Sze: Pictures at an Exhibition
WHAT
Known for large site-specific installations made of recycled objects, the American artist’s works break from the Conceptualism and Minimalism movements of the 1960s to the 1980s. Her installations are expressive, poetic, and imbued with realism. The exhibition includes a dynamic, room-sized kaleidoscope-like installation and a series of new paintings that blur the lines between digital and analog media. This exhibition marks the artist’s first show at the gallery’s Paris location since 2020.
WHY
The artist’s immersive installations invite viewers to engage with constantly transforming imagery, highlighting digital representation and shifts in perception, memory, and desire. By occupying various gallery spaces and extending into the street, her works connect art with everyday life. The exhibition title references Mussorgsky’s piano suite, linking visual and auditory experiences, emphasising the exploration of temporal and spatial montage to offer a unique sensory experience.
