Viewing Sarah Sze’s suite of new paintings at Victoria Miro

American artist Sarah Sze’s new works are taking over Victoria Miro’s Venice gallery until the summer – a video installation and a suite of new paintings that contemplate ways of looking and constructing images. As well as presenting works at the gallery, Sze has also taken over a Venetian apartment opposite – a group of new paintings presented within a simulation of the space in which they were painted. It’s a heady presentation that challenges the idea of a single way of seeing. It may leave you just a little disoriented as you head back out to navigate the Biennale and its offerings. ‘The paintings, the video, the sculptures – all of the work” Sze says “is about being captured in a continual state of transition.” Venice, with its history of movement and as a site of cultural convergence, seems the perfect environment to explore this state.
