Join us for a special tour of Sleepers (2024) by renowned artist Sarah Sze at the Denver Art Museum. We’re thrilled to offer this opportunity to experience the work up close and hear directly from Rory Padeken, Vicki and Kent Logan Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Tickets are included, but space is limited.
Here’s a bit more about this extraordinary installation, from the museum’s press release:
The Denver Art Museum (DAM) proudly presents the U.S. debut of Sleepers (2024) by internationally recognized artist and 2003 MacArthur Fellow Sarah Sze. The DAM recently acquired Sleepers, which will be on view in the relaunched art series Fuse Box. The acquisition of this new media art installation is crucial for the DAM as it significantly enriches its contemporary collection, broadens its appeal to diverse audiences and reinforces its commitment to showcasing innovative artistic expressions that reflect the evolving landscape of art and technology.
In this six-channel video installation, moving images are projected onto over 300 hand-torn paper screens suspended from parallel lines of string. Sze’s visuals of landscapes, still lifes and portraits celebrate the mundane and the extraordinary, the personal and the universal, the eternal and the ephemeral, exploring our relationship with an ever-changing digital world. Fuse Box: Sarah Sze will be on view from July 13, 2025, through July 2026, on level four of the museum’s Hamilton Building.
