Sarah Oppenheimer: Sensitive Machine by Sarah Oppenheimer
How Oppenheimer’s complex artworks break down barriers between art, audience and architecture Published with Wellin Museum of Art. This publication documents the four interactive artworks by New York–based artist Sarah Oppenheimer (born 1972) created for the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College in the context of her greater artistic oeuvre. Printed in five color with foil stamping, with striking reproductions and contributions by Tracy L. Adler, Suzanne Keen, Sarah Oppenheimer and Seph Rodney, the book explores the artist’s multifaceted approach to empathy, agency, audience and cocreation, among many other themes in her work. Oppenheimer considers the space of the museum as a site of experimentation, where visitors experience the curiosity and joy of transforming the artworks themselves. In Oppenheimer’s words, “You have to enter the temporal network in order for the work to exist.”
TRACY L. ADLER is the Johnson-Pote Director of the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. Her previous books include Jeffrey Gibson: This Is the Day, Julia Jacquette: Unrequited and Acts of Play, and Yun-Fei Ji: The Intimate Universe (all by Prestel).
