Sarah Sze (/ˈz/; born 1969) is an American artist and professor of visual arts at Columbia University.[1] Sze's work explores the role of technology, information, and memory with objects in contemporary life utilizing everyday materials.[2] Her work often represents objects caught in suspension. Drawing from Modernist traditions, Sze confronts the relationship between low-value mass-produced objects in high-value institutions, creating the sense that everyday life objects can be art.[3] She has exhibited internationally and her works are in the collections of several major museums.
