Artist Talk: Sara Greenberger Rafferty

Join Sara Greenberger Rafferty and Associate Curator for Sculpture Milwaukee, Bianca Bova on Zoom for a discussion of Sara's practice and work recently installed for Sculpture Milwaukee.⁠

Rafferty’s work uses the lens of entertainment to magnify the sense of dehumanization inherent in the age of surveillance and Big Data. In the past, her practice has followed a biographical track; this includes a protracted body of work concerning itself with the late escape artist and magician Harry Houdini. "After Harry", a prominent work from that time, recreates the water chamber from one of Houdini’s signature illusions; left empty save for a set of chains, ropes, and locks similar to those worn by the escape artist. Rafferty leverages the absence of the body to frame questions of autonomy, mobility, and mortality.
