SARAH SZE
MCASD LA JOLLA
April 21 2001 - May 2002

In April 2001, New York based artist Sarah Sze was in residence at MCASD in La Jolla installing a new site-specific work entitled Drawn. This mixed-media work in wood, plastic, paper, and metal distends, distorts, and deconstructs the shapes and materials of a bed, creating a mutant form that defies gravity and the regular geometry of the Museum's architecture. The work, on view through May 2002, inhabits the space in and around the glass-walled stairwell leading from the Museum's Axline Court to the Edwards Sculpture Garden. The project was supported by a generous grant from the Alberta duPont Bonsal Foundation, and a contribution from Barbara and Charles Arledge.
