๐Marianne Boesky Gallery
507 W. 24th Street, NYC.
๐ฅโ๏ธ๐พreposted from @art #SanfordBiggers is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, collage, performance, music, and film to explore mythology, spirituality, cultural memory, and the instability of historical narratives. Drawing from a wide range of visual traditions, Biggers combines symbols, materials, and references from across time to create layered works that question how meaning and identity are constructed.
In โThe Gift of Tonguesโ at Boesky Gallery (@marianneboeskygallery), Biggers transforms the gallery into a labyrinth of antique quilts, and sculptural interventions that guide viewers through shifting scenes of historical and cultural association. Bringing together works from several ongoing series, the exhibition explores hybrid identities, coded histories, and evolving systems of meaning. Biggers also revisits the often-forgotten history of hand-painted marble sculpture, challenging contemporary assumptions about classical forms and monumentality. Throughout the exhibition, recurring cloud motifs, quilt-based works, and shimmering sculptural surfaces create an atmosphere where symbols remain fluid, unstable, and open to reinterpretation.
