Sanford Biggers was born in Los Angeles in 1970. Influenced by a two-year stay in Nagoya, Japan, and by a multitude of cross-cultural references, Biggers’ installations incorporate the study of ethnological objects, popular culture and icons, and Dadaist strategies. His work cross-pollinates different disciplines and philosophies, bringing them together in the course of his explorations and studies. Biggers also includes performative elements into his work, creating layers of reading that act as anecdotal vignettes. Sanford Biggers has exhibited internationally since 2000; he has participated in many important exhibitions including Freestyle and Black Belt at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the 2002 Whitney Biennial, Performa 07, and Illuminations at the Tate Modern in London (2007).
