Sanford Biggers The Cartographer’s Conundrum

Sanford Biggers

Sanford Biggers creates multi-disciplinary artworks that integrate film/video, installation, sculpture, music and performance. Influenced by his experiences living throughout the United States, Europe and Japan, and by Buddhism, Hip-hop and urban culture, Biggers’s work is known for its combination of meditative rigor and improvisatory edge. Biggers has been exhibiting his work since the mid-1990s, at the Whitney Biennial and such spaces as the ROVE Gallery in London. His grants and awards include the Lambent Fellowship in the Arts and a fellowship at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. He teaches at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
