Sanford Biggers
studied at Moorhouse College and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He lives and works in New York. His work is mainly in the form of sculptural installation, with unusual and various sources - Eastern religions, process art from the 1970's, city street culture and new technology. He uses materials that have been thrown away or unnoticed - linoleum, sawdust, recyclable materials that are inspired by a Japanese aesthetic system, which adores beautiful things that are imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. Biggers tries to encourage the viewer to value everyday experiences, to realize things in life beyond their assigned function. Mixing the antique with the contemporary, local and global pictures, showing that all cultures and people are connected.
