Sarah Sze: Art That Explores Time and Memory
Join Sarah Sze as she talks about the questions that drive her creative process. How do objects acquire value for us? How do we breathe life into inanimate materials? What happens when images and objects become confused in space? She describes creating immersive experiences that blur the lines between time, memory, and space—and between art and life.
Sarah Sze: Timelapse
In this video, Sarah Sze elaborates on the creation of her solo exhibition Timelapse, on view through September 10, 2023. The show features a series of site-specific installations throughout the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, that explore her ongoing reflection on how our experience of time and place is continuously reshaped in relationship to the constant stream of objects, images, and information in today’s digitally and materially saturated world. In Sze’s reimagination of the Guggenheim’s iconic architecture, designed in the 1940s by Frank Lloyd Wright, the building becomes a public timekeeper reminding us that timelines are built through shared experience and memory.
