Gagosian debuts Sarah Sze: Feel Free tonight. The solo exhibition includes two immersive video installations as well as a new series of large-format paintings. The artist redefines collage as a spatial and temporal language that moves across mediums in flux. Thus transforming the image itself into a sculptural material. In a process of continual fragmentation and reconstruction, these works explore how our senses, emotions, and memories are conditioned by today’s media-saturated world. The solo show runs through February 28, 2026; Art Party: 6-8pm; Gagosian, 456 N Camden Dr, Beverly Hills, 90210; https://gagosian.com
