Sarah Sze’s ‘Metronome’ is about quiet contemplation, not just the clicks

Set in a long-abandoned vaulted room in the upper levels of a busy Victorian railway station, artist Sarah Sze has created a dynamic and dense installation that captures the essence of our image-saturated age. The New York-based architect worked in collaboration with Artangel to shape her piece Metronome for this space (help also came from the Aarhus Art Museum, the Officine Grandi Riparazioni in Turin and the Victoria Miro gallery, along with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and The Arch Company).
