Sze (July)


Sarah Sze starts with the grid but her work scarcely reminds us of crossings and corners. Buttons on wires curve like a million mobile calls. A stub of old Athenaeum tickets are set in lines: July, July, July. Loyalty cards mark imaginary intersections. Some objects have the now trademark Sze biographical touch: her Venice Biennale program. Typically with ‘Grid’ Sze introduces a material rare to the site, in artificial form. In this case snow in drifts of kapok, rumples of white satin, and samples of carded wool. Elizabeth Street’s a stretch of galvanized guttering with pump set to flood unpredictably.
