Sanford Biggers Instagram – Cheshire (Janus) (2023) is currently on view from the High Line- between the 23rd and 26th street entrances 🙏🏿 “This wide grin—a Cheshire Cat smile-is a frequent motif in Biggers’s oeurve. Employed throughout his work in sculpture, his video practice, and in his quilt-based Codex works-and presented at varying levels of legibility— the work makes reference to Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire cat as well as the racist caricatures of 19th-century minstrel shows. Biggers complicates and questions these signifiers, ultimately offering new understandings of collective mythologies and traditions.” – @marianneboeskygallery Cheshire (Janus), 2023.
