Sarah Sze at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Artforum
Sarah Sze at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, the culmination of the artist's two-year, Center-supported residency with the organization, has been named an Artforum Critic's Pick.
"One of the more poignant aspects brought to mind from Sarah Sze's untitled three-floor installation from 2013 is its deliberate, insistent display of artistic choices," Nicolas Linnert writes in his review.

Sarah Sze is on view at the Fabric Workshop and Museum through April 6, 2014. Sze will speak about her work in conversation with Hal Foster, Townsend Martin Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University, and Carlos Basualdo, Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Curator of Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, at the Fabric Workshop and Museum on Thursday, April 3.
