SculptureCenter, in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, presents a series of three lectures that explore how contemporary artists think about sculpture—its history, conventions, and legacy. Three artists at various stages of their careers have been invited to present their own take on art history: New York-based artist Sanford Biggers was born in Los Angeles in 1970. Influenced by a two-year stay in Nagoya, Japan and a multitude of cross-cultural references, Biggers’ installations incorporate performance, popular icons, Dadaist strategies, and the study of ethnological objects. He has won several awards including the New York Percent for the Arts Commission (2007) and the New York Foundation for the Arts Artist Fellowship Award in 2005
