His works on paper-which span three-dimensional reliefs, calligraphy, and notebook entries-capture the interdisciplinary spirit that defined the art world in the 1970s. Intricate and concise, they testify to his interest in the crossovers between visual and performance arts, as well as the broader integration within his oeuvre of the natural and built environment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This catalogue presents in vibrant detail selections from Matta-Clark's Cut Drawings, Energy Rooms, Energy Trees, and his own \"calligraphy,\" many of which have never been published. Perhaps the best known of the group, the Cut Drawings explore parallel, smaller-format versions of his physical interventions in architecture; slicing meticulously through several layers of paper, gesso, or cardboard, Matta-Clark created sculptural flat works that emphasized the voids created by the extraction of matter. Drawings with his own \"calligraphy\" emphasize the medium of drawing as an independent form. Abstract letters make up a code that remains indecipherable, but points toward a visionary longing to invent new languages and structures of experience. Some of the most elaborate and colorful compositions include trees, several of which refer explicitly to Matta-Clark's Tree Dance performance at Vassar College in upstate New York in 1971. In full-color plates, the reader can see the physical structure of his trees \"dissolving\" into kinetic energy and, in some drawings, becoming reduced to a multitude of arrows. Near-abstract tree shapes also incorporate his calligraphic marks, with branches constructed from imaginary letters, again emphasizing the importance of language to a new visual experience. Matta-Clark's notebooks, which he often insisted on completing in a single sitting, are presented in elegantly curated groups. Combining elements of Surrealist automatic drawing with an interest in choreography, these works appealed to performance artists at the time-including Laurie Anderson and Trisha Brown. This unparalleled presentation of Matta-Clark's drawings is accompanied by new and exciting scholarship by Briony Fer, as well as a conversation between Jessamyn Fiore and contemporary artist Sarah Sze; it marks a major contribution to the literature on this highly influential artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734731628817,"sku":"NGR9781941701256","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1941701256.jpg?v=1751282116"},{"product_id":"sarah-sze-fallen-sky-book-sarah-sze-9781636810690","title":"Sarah Sze: Fallen Sky","description":"Commemorating Sarah Sze’s new permanent site-specific commission at Storm King Art Center  Published with Storm King Art Center.

Sze's immense and intricate site-specific works are akin to drawings in space, manipulating architectural spaces to profoundly affect the way they are viewed. This work was installed on three floors of the museum, virally traversing the exhibition spaces and creating a narrative that unfolds as viewers navigate the galleries and experience Sze's reflections on time, exploration of movement and investigation of materials. Each gallery floor presents a singular experience, yet viewing all three spaces is cumulative, akin to experiencing separate acts in a theatrical production. The catalogue illustrates multiple views of each gallery floor. Along with essays by Jonathan Gilmore and Jeffery Kastner, this volume includes a 2011 essay on Sze by the late philosopher and art critic Arthur C. Danto.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49961000435985,"sku":"NGR9780983631712","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522166612241,"sku":"NLS9780983631712","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0983631719.jpg?v=1751172337"},{"product_id":"sarah-sze-book-sarah-sze-9788792184818","title":"Sarah Sze","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49966509490449,"sku":"GOR013824792","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8792184812.jpg?v=1750808402"},{"product_id":"sarah-sze-timekeeper-book-sarah-sze-9781941366134","title":"Sarah Sze: Timekeeper","description":"For over 20 years Sarah Sze (born 1969) has produced celebrated works of art, synthesizing a near boundless range of everyday materials into intricate constructions that are both delicate and overwhelming. Sze's latest site-specific installation at the Rose Art Museum, Timekeeper, combines sculpture, video and installation into a sprawling experiential work that approaches some of the most complex themes of her career: time's passage and its marking in mechanical and biological forms.  The Timekeeper installation was a catalyst for a book which explores major new ideas in Sze's work and practice.

Her work, sometimes compared to scientific models, is distinguished by her intricate constructions using myriad ordinary objects and images that evidence the imprints of contemporary life. Sze’s Guggenheim exhibition, which centers on Timekeeper (2016)—one of the first in the artist's eponymous series of multimedia installations—is a reflection on how our experience of time and place is continuously reshaped in a digitally and materially saturated world. The show represents the New York premiere of Timekeeper. Published after the show’s opening, this book is a rich, immersive document of the singular relationship Sze cultivated with the building over the five years she spent developing this site-specific presentation. The majority of the volume is given over to expansive installation photographs, as well as sketches by the artist. An illustrated essay by curator Kyung An probes the depths of the exhibition’s thread of serendipitous encounters, while contributions by Hilton Als and Molly Nesbit offer explorations of the origins and resonances of Sze’s practice of timekeeping. Sarah Sze (born 1969) received a BA from Yale University in Connecticut in 1991 and an MFA from New York’s School of Visual Arts in 1997. Her previous monographs include Timekeeper (2018), Night into Day (2021) and Fallen Sky (2022). Born in Boston, Sze presently lives and works in New York.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52659158876433,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52659159728401,"sku":"NLS9780892075621","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780892075621.jpg?v=1762262386"},{"product_id":"sarah-sze-triple-point-book-sarah-sze-9780982681381","title":"Sarah Sze: Triple Point","description":"Sarah Sze (born 1969) has earned deserved acclaim since the late 1990s for her intricate assemblages of everyday consumer products, painstakingly arranged by hand into immense, site-specific installations that engage the viewer in a dizzying play of perspective and scale. Often every crevice of an architectural space is utilized in her complex constructions, composed of thousands of objects, works that converge at the intersection of drawing, sculpture and architecture. Sarah Sze: Triple Point is a major new publication on the work of this celebrated artist, documenting Sze’s ambitious, large-scale exhibition at the U.S. Pavilion of the 2013 Venice Biennale, with 64 pages of full-color plates and several significant new texts on Sze and her practice. Included is a conversation between the artist and Pulitzer Prize winning author Jennifer Egan, along with a short story by Egan entitled “Black Box.” Curator and scholar Johanna Burton contributes a compelling new examination of Sze’s practice, and 2013 Biennale Co-Commissioners Holly Block and Carey Lovelace provide an introduction to the project and artist. Elegantly realized by award-winning designer Takaaki Matsumoto, Sarah Sze: Triple Point is certain to be a lasting testament to the continued development of this exciting and original artist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52934785171729,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52934785794321,"sku":"NLS9780982681381","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780982681381.jpg?v=1765844808"},{"product_id":"sarah-sze-book-sarah-sze-9781636811925","title":"Sarah Sze","description":"Sze's mixed-media works for the Nasher Sculpture Center call into question the definition of artistic mediums and how memory marks time and space  Published with Nasher Sculpture Center.  Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze (born 1969) has been making mesmerizing installations that challenge the static nature of art and transform the spaces they inhabit. Appearing at once arbitrary and meticulously planned, in the midst of coming together and falling apart, her work contains layered references to the world's rapidly changing, image-driven digital present. Working across painting, sculpture, sound, print, drawing, video and architecture, Sze's work amplifies the myriad ephemeral details of contemporary life, making palpable poetry of the often-ineffable aspects of human experience. Three new installations, created for the spaces of the Nasher Sculpture Center, emphasize how experience is continually reshaped by the constant stream of visual information around us, and the role of memory in forming our perception. This lavishly illustrated publication documents these works and the 2024 exhibition and features more than 850 color photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53065432858897,"sku":"NIN9781636811925","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53069690831121,"sku":"NLS9781636811925","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781636811925.jpg?v=1773742579"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sarah-sze.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
