This exhibition, titled
Triple Point, is
a series of five installations that fill the rooms of the U.S. Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Sze's work is considered organized chaos and has been compared to an archaeological dig ! Visitors there encounter an erector-set like contraption made from articles such as aluminum rods, pieces of wood and a multitude of found objects. Holly Block is the executive director of the Bronx Museum of the Arts and co-commissioner of the U.S. Pavilion with Carey Lovelace. "Her work makes the visitor consider the past, present and future, " Block explains. "It challenges your equilibrium while questioning your notion of space; it throws you off-center and implores you to question your everyday experience, in both a physical and mental sense." This is such an innovative and unique use of space and objects and seems to have a delicate balance and airy feel....quite a sight to behold I am sure !
Couple things I found interesting enough to bookmark her in my favorites.
ReplyDeleteOne:the meaning of the title "triple point" in science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point) and the 3 phases of past,present,future mentioned in your post.
Second: her explanation of her work in an article I found: Ms. Sze is asking questions of her audience: “What objects in your life have value, and how is value created?” (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/31/arts/design/at-venice-biennale-sarah-szes-triple-point.html?_r=0)
Thanks for sharing
This really is an unique use of space. There is so much to look at. The first image is very chaotic to me, with a lot going on, but it does look very interesting and it pulls you in. The second one is a lot more balanced. I like how the light casts shadows in new shades to add even more to the piece
