Overview

Victoria Miro is delighted to present an exhibition by Sarah Sze.

In Sarah Sze’s new paintings, scaled to Victoria Miro’s Gallery II space, the artist incorporates a wealth of painted and collaged elements and traces of multiple image-making mediums, laying bare the narrative of the studio and the developmental arcs that occur within and between the works. In recent years the American artist has returned to painting, the medium in which she first trained. These new wall-based works continue the artist’s decades-long exploration of the ways in which the proliferation of images – printed in magazines and newspapers, gleaned from the Web and television, intercepted from outer space, and ultimately imprinted on our conscious and unconscious selves – fundamentally changes our relationship to physical objects, memories, and time.

‘I think of the entirety of an artist’s body of work as one work. Each individual artwork is a window into a chain of ongoing decisions. It’s the space in between those works that is fertile and feeds the evolution of the work.’

— Sarah Sze
