""So much of what we experience is actually interior," Sze said in a recent video interview. "We've become so exterior focused. We're so outward looking." At a time when it's all too easy to consume a never-ending stream of social media images, the celebrated New York-based artist is more interested in scrolling through the images stored inside her own mind."
"Sarah Sze, known for large-scale paintings and unconventional sculptures, debuts "Feel Free" at Gagosian Beverly Hills with immersive art exploring dreams and the mind's eye. Part sculpture, part video display, one of her newest pieces is made of projectors, tripods, metal poles, toothpicks, Lactaid boxes and other bric-a-brac challenging artistic boundaries. New paintings feature sleeping figures, the sun at different stages, and wolves and deer in their natural habitats."
Sarah Sze centers on interiority and the mind's eye in a new show titled Feel Free at Gagosian Beverly Hills. The exhibition includes two immersive video installations alongside a collection of new paintings depicting sleeping figures, the sun at different stages, and wolves and deer in natural habitats. One installation, Once in a Lifetime, combines projectors, tripods, metal poles, toothpicks, Lactaid boxes and other bric-a-brac into a precarious, gravity-defying mechanical sculpture and video display. Sze emphasizes internal experience over outward consumption and favors intimate, fragile forms while continuing her experimental, large-scale practice. The work merges daily detritus with cinematic imagery to map memory and dreamlike fragments.
