At the Venice Biennale 2013

Sarah Sze represents the United States in this year's Venice Biennale.  Her work is both painstaking and random.  I first saw one of her pieces at the Whitney in New York - - it was large and made mainly of wires and string, feathers, bottle caps, Q-tips and things that I don't recall - - sited in front of one of the upper Madison Ave. windows.



For the Biennale she's got the entire U.S. Pavilion to work in.  Here are two introductions:  a piece that appeared in Wired yesterday:  http://www.wired.com/design/2013/07/sarah-szes-beautiful-works-of-organized-chaos/#slideid-156021  and a video sponsored by Sotheby's:  http://www.sothebys.com/es/news-video/videos/2013/07/Sarah-Sze-Venice-Biennales-US-Pavilion.html
