- Sarah Sze has created public art for display in New York City before, but never of this magnitude: a 50-foot-tall, five-ton constellation of images of the city she loves, in the newly-revamped Terminal B of LaGuardia Airport. Correspondent David Pogue talks with Sze about her airborne sculpture, titled "Shorter Than the Day," that serves as a welcome for visitors to the Big Apple.

I love that it is grand in size, yet only takes up a small part of of one’s view as a whole. Stunning!
Great art is sustenance. It can heal. It can motivate. It can also make us think or consider a cautionary tale along with feeding our soul. Well done!
Well said.
Couldn’t concur more.
@@chrisfinch8637 Thank you.
@@danthomas6587 Thank you.
Reminds me of this poem: Hyacinths to Feed Thy Soul -
by Sadi
IF OF THY MORTAL GOODS thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
I love airport art! I wish I travelled more, but when I have gotten to explore other airports, and my city's airport, I always love seeing the new installations.
I really enjoyed the profile on artist Sarah Size, and was fascinated to see the photo of her talented spouse, who I've met when he was the keynote speaker at a breast cancer conference several years ago. They're both MacArthur "genius" grant recipients, she for art, and her husband, Siddhartha Mukherjee, for medicine. He's an oncologist in New York, and the Pulitzer prize winning author "Emperor of all Maladies" what he described as a biography of cancer. The book was the basis of a multi part Ken Burns documentary a few years ago. When I learned about the accomplishments of Ms. Sze, having just met her husband, I was struck by what an amazing set of parents their daughters have, and had visions of sparkles and rainbows around those girls. Her airport installation is breathtaking!
Absolutely loved his book. Thank you for the info.
Can you imagine how amazing a dinner party would be at their house! They must have the most amazing group of friends too!
How do you dust it?
This is beautiful. ♥️
“Why are we spending money on this?”
Art is the soul of the artist, shared with the soul of the community. Not everything is about money. Sometimes - just sometimes, it’s about emotional well being for that community. An imaginative focus provokes imagination in others, and whether we realize it or not, art drives people to create on so many levels.
Art can bring out the best in people.
love it
Love it. Although I mainly go through JFK, I'll have to make a point to see it someday. I've seen the subway station one and nice to put a name and face (she's over 50 yrs old?! What is her secret?!) to the artwork. It'll be interesting to see how the La Guardia one is lit at night. Agree art is important, similar to adding parks in a concrete jungle.
The 96th Street subway station piece = A+.
i love art
An amazing concept from an amazing artist.
Good morning Janet, how are you?
😷the cogency she expresses about art, including her own, is exhilarating❣️
I love your word, "cogency" I love words, and this is a new word for me, thank you.
David Pogue continues to amaze and impress us as he demonstrates the human capacity for continual growth and enrichment. His work brings a human warmth to all he does, which in turn incrases our appreciation of his subjects.
Breathtaking! It must be stunning in person. As far as her saying that people don't have to like her art, Robert Longo says "...I make art for brave eyes. I don't want to make art that will pat you on the back and tell you everything is going to be okay." Yes. Art should challenge us, and make us think. Sometimes we need to be taken out of our comfort zone. Wishing Ms. Sze all the best! To think of all the people that will be seeing this beautiful work of art!!!
Love this piece of art! Gorgeous 💕
Beautiful!
This is wonderful!
Wow it’s beautiful ❤️
Amazing!
Great piece although it would have been nice to hear more about the making of it than the artist history!
Yessd! As a maker myself, I'm more intrigued by the fabrication and the hidden craftsmen
Beautiful! Wowww!
Very impresive creative form,congratulations!
Light, airy, magnificent
Awesome and beautiful friend❤️😃👍😃
The piece is incredible and offer respite for the public, but my mind goes, “How the heck would you clean the piece and keep it looking stunning.”
I cannot find one single article that tells how much this thing cost. Government secrets apparently aren't guarded this well
Airport art is truly magnificent, since I’ve been to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, Newark, New York, and obviously my home airports, O’Hare and Midway.
Chiangi Airport in Singapore has the biggest kinetic art by German group Art+Com. Its in terminal 1. Actually, Chiangi is something else. The waterfall installation/garden is amazing.
It's beautiful. Definitely her best. I agree with the people the subway one not so much.
great work Sarah Sze
Looking very nice.
It is fantastic and thank you Maestro Pogue for using the word 'composed' and not the typical (and incorrect) 'comprised'. I expect such exactness from a musician!
Good lawd, that's beautiful.
Whenever I see an installation like this, I think who's going to clean that? And how???
Very large container of canned air!
Pretty cool. Looks like a lot of work.
Beautiful installation....nothing more to say
Well by the looks of terminal B, so far so good, too bad the entire project won't be finished for another 4 more years but I don't live in New York but I'm glad LaGuardia is getting the REALLY needed.
Light arriving or light departing . . . the viewers are the light.
People should check out Singapore's Changi Airport art, it’s next level
Denver has strange art Cincinnati has murals I've seen some great art in airports
Public art installations are possibly the greatest perk of living in a first world country. Cheers!
It must be a burden having an artistic mind. Everywhere you go everything you see is a possibility. My friend is an artist. Sanity is a discussion we have...
I've seen this before 20 years ago in an art school grad student MFA thesis project; not the artist above.
Sorry about the autocorrect typo. My tablet can't correct it. It's Ms. Sze!
Here in Charlston Sc the art work is a tribce to the church that was that kid killrd them.
Kind of underwhelming. Should have put a kinetic art in that place. Like the kinetic rain at Chiangi Airport terminal 1. Breathtaking. This one is just underwhelming for such a major airport.
it's beautiful for sure BUT WHO is going to dust that thing off regularly?
It’s not a Michelangelo ..... calm down
Impressive installation at LGA. I wonder if her commission could've instead been better used by the government for the, apparently, underfunded NYC schools she references.
@3:42 As the artist said..."that is an entirely valid question." @3:44 Part of the artist's response is that "art is sustenance" and if/when you are suffering "art can save your life."
Sarah has to have engineering ability as well to complete her art projects.
Good morning Margaret, how are you?
Do you know the art is just flying in
She must be rich rich. When ur in a subway or airport tho ur not pissing about looking at it ur busy going where ur going ?
"You know", may put you in the cool crowd & make you think you are a knowledgeable person, but defending myself on Twitter & CZcams is no substitute for justice. What happened at AVC in Alberta in 80-83 is an example of how far this security intelligence organization was going to disrupt my progress. People got hurt. There wasn't anything here that wasn't under juvenile judicial law, or criminal law. I'm sure you have all seen the pics. There was a DA that was murdered in Seattle in 2001. My medical records are missing & my police records are incorrect. Those two matters make it difficult to make a case. Government officials know, entertainers know, yet still I am finding it difficult to get the judicial departments to act.
They did the same thing to my father that they did to me. I know who I am. If you think it would have been different for you, then you are naive. I will also take the psychiatrists word over your opinion. Everything about their actions have been manipulative. I would not be surprised if they intervened my tweets to change them slightly. Over the many years the security system took no other action but to broadcast, what they were infact inducing, the pics to the entertainment industry. There isn't one person in that industry that wasn't producing these stories & songs from me, yet no one dared come near. Even some of these people got hurt.

This art is so overthought. It’s art, not philosophy. Artists like to think, their art is going to change the world. This won’t.
That’s hideous! What garbage!
Oh my god New York airport “Art” looks like junk. Hey what about a really crappy chandelier with polaroids all over it?
