Introduction by Holly Block, Carey Lovelace. Text by Johanna Burton, Jennifer Egan.
Sarah Sze (born 1969) has earned deserved acclaim since the late 1990s for her intricate assemblages of everyday consumer products, painstakingly arranged by hand into immense, site-specific installations that engage the viewer in a dizzying play of perspective and scale. Often every crevice of an architectural space is utilized in her complex constructions, composed of thousands of objects, works that converge at the intersection of drawing, sculpture and architecture. Sarah Sze: Triple Point is a major new publication on the work of this celebrated artist, documenting Sze’s ambitious, large-scale exhibition at the U.S. Pavilion of the 2013 Venice Biennale, with 64 pages of full-color plates and several significant new texts on Sze and her practice. Included is a conversation between the artist and Pulitzer Prize winning author Jennifer Egan, along with a short story by Egan entitled “Black Box.” Curator and scholar Johanna Burton contributes a compelling new examination of Sze’s practice, and 2013 Biennale Co-Commissioners Holly Block and Carey Lovelace provide an introduction to the project and artist. Elegantly realized by award-winning designer Takaaki Matsumoto, Sarah Sze: Triple Point is certain to be a lasting testament to the continued development of this exciting and original artist.

This detail of "Triple Point (Planetarium)," 2013, is reproduced from Triple Point, the exhibition catalog for Sarah Sze's sculptural installation at this year's Venice Biennale, co-published by The Bronx Museum of the Arts and Gregory R. Miller & Co. Carey Lovelace and Holly Block write, "Sze is part of a post-conceptual early-twenty-first-century ethos. With a trace of postmodern detachment, even humor, Sze and other artists as diverse as Julie Mehretu, Mark Bradford, Jessica Stockholder and Wade Guyton have returned to modernism itself for fresh ideas about the visual-plastic encounter with the phenomenological world. They have moved beyond the identity politics and theoretical ideologies of the early 2000s. Sze in her turn to abstraction, has chosen particularly nuanced territory, one that includes a colliding interaction between two and three dimensions, a choreographic element, and an inquiry into the many adroit ways autobiographical content can be indirectly conveyed, yet concealed. Her work is, in its way, as potent as cubism or minimalism's redefinition of the compositional possibilities of art." continue to blog
