No. 662: Sarah Sze, Zoë Charlton

Episode No. 662 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artists Sarah Sze and Zoë Charlton.

The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas is showing “Sarah Sze,” a presentation of new works that explore how memory marks time and space, and how art negotiates image and object. The exx\hibition is on view through August 18.

Sze represented the United States at the 2013 Venice Biennale. Other -ennials at which her work has been featured include the Whitney (2000), Carnegie (1999), Berlin (1998), Guangzhou (2015), Liverpool (2008), and Lyon (2009). She has made public artworks for sites such as LaGuardia Airport in New York, and Storm King Art Center.

Charlton is included in “A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration” at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley. The exhibition presents impressions of the Great Migration as considered by a dozen contemporary artists. The exhibition, which was co-curated by Ryan N. Dennis and Jessica Bell Brown, was organized for Berkeley by Anthony Graham with Matthew Villar Miranda. It’s on view through September 22.

Charlton’s work often addresses culturally loaded landscapes and histories. It has been included in exhibitions at museums such as the Studio Museum in Harlem and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Ark. Her work is in the collection of museums such as The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC, the Birmingham (Ala.) Museum of Art, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
