Sanford Biggers

(American, born 1970)

Sanford Biggers is contemporary African-American artist who works in sculpture, video, installation, and performance. Drawing from a diverse range of influences, including Buddhism and Afrofuturism, Biggers employs antique quilts, African sculptures, and other significant objects to investigative identity and culture in his practice. “I often say time is malleable, but the reception of an artwork is malleable too,” he has said. “When the culture changes, the view and the way you see that work, your perspective, changes. It's something that you can't control.” Born in 1970 in Los Angeles, CA, he attended Morehouse College in Atlanta and received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. Biggers currently lives and work in New York, NY. Today, his works are held in the collections of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, among others.
