Sanford Biggers: New Work

Having recently spent a year in Rome as a 2017 American Academy Fellow in Visual Arts, Biggers has created a new body of marble sculptures which develop the artist’s use of classical materials as a means of destabilizing and reconfiguring their historical evocations. In addition to these marble works, the exhibition will also comprise a new group of quilt paintings and wall reliefs that are demonstrative of Biggers’ eclectic, trans-historical practice. Drawing upon a varied and broad view of the past and its irrevocable ties to the present, Biggers speaks to contemporary socio-political conditions precisely in his summoning of their non-linear and revelatory origins.
