Sanford Biggers The Afronomical Way
Sanford Biggers lives and works in New York. His works are sculptural installations drawing from an incredibly diverse range of sources—Eastern religions, Black indigenous expression, 1970s process art, urban street culture, and new technologies. In his works, the artist often uses abandoned and "unwanted" materials: fragments of linoleum, lumber, and recycled materials. He celebrates the beauty of imperfect, perishable, and incomplete things. He strives to encourage viewers to reevaluate everyday experience, to notice the "life of things" beyond their assigned function. He combines ancient and contemporary, local and global imagery, demonstrating that all cultures and all people are interconnected. Sanford Biggers' Warsaw project is presented in the form of a small publication resembling a travelogue.
