Sanford Biggers Instagram – 👁️Lotus Nova (2023) on view at @marianneboeskygallery’s 509 W 24th Street location. “Continuing two longstanding motifs in the artist’s practice—the use of antique quilts and invocation of traditional Buddhist symbols—Lotus Nova probes the confluences between two diverse philosophies/materialities of thought outside the dominant Western lens. The ripples and brushstrokes across the surface of the piece signify a corresponding rippling of historical spacetime: bringing together vernacular resistances against slavery with a transcendental philosophy from the other side of the world, Biggers refuses to take history as static, consistently reimagining and reorienting the past in the hope for a better, more connected future.” – @marianneboeskygallery #lotus #quilt #quilting #history #studiosanfordbiggers #MarianneBoeskyGallery Marianne Boesky Gallery
