Fuse Box: Sarah Sze

About This Event

Fuse Box: Sarah Sze, on view July 13, 2025, through July 2026, presents a recently acquired new media art installation by internationally recognized artist and 2003 MacArthur Fellow Sarah Sze. In Sleepers, a six-channel video installation, moving images are projected onto over 300 hand-torn paper screens suspended from parallel lines of string. Sze’s visuals of landscapes, still-lifeism and portraits celebrate the mundane and the extraordinary, the personal and the universal, the eternal and the ephemeral, exploring our relationship with an ever-changing digital world. Since the late 1990s, Sze has created expansive and idiosyncratic sculptures that begin with fractal-like compositions and explode into architectural space. Suffusing her dynamic constellations of everyday objects and materials with moving image projections, Sze conflates physical and digital environments to bring us closer to our current reality. To create Sleepers, the artist filmed and recorded using her iPhone and culled from various online stock footage libraries. Sleepers is Sze’s first artwork with recorded and edited sound, with everyday life serving as the primary focus of her work.
