SANFORD BIGGERS (b. 1970, Los Angeles, CA) lives and works in New York State.
Sanford Biggers creates multi-disciplinary artworks that integrate film/video, sculpture, music and performance. Influenced by a two-year stay in Nagoya, Japan, and by a variety of cross-cultural references, Biggers' installations incorporate the study of ethnological objects, popular culture and icons, and Dadaist strategies. His work draws on different disciplines and philosophies, bringing them together in the course of his explorations and studies.
He has exhibited internationally since 2000 and has participated in many significant exhibitions including Freestyle and Black Belt at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; the Whitney Biennial (2002); Rapper’s Delight at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Performa 07; and Illuminations at the Tate Modern, London (2007).
Biggers is represented by Mary Goldman Gallery in Los Angeles.
