WHAT
This is the first presentation of New York-based artist, Sanford Biggers, at the gallery’s Hong Kong space. The exhibition’s title is inspired by one of the artist’s favourite musical albums, by hip-hop duo Organized Konfusion. The artist’s artworks travel across history and place, compressing time and geography by drawing together disparate aesthetics, humanities, and concepts. Though starkly opposed in their choice of materials, the quilts and sculptures question the nature of authenticity, authority and origin. The exhibition stands as a testament to the multiple meanings, codes and ideas that can coexist within one particular object as well as across culture at large.

WHY
The artist sees his artworks not only as contemporary objects but ‘objects for a future ethnography’, encouraging their provenance and object relationships to be studied, researched and continuously reconsidered. Indeed, we find the artist’s ‘Chimera’ sculptures to be especially fascinating, where classical elements of African and European sculpture come together. Besides, visiting the exhibition is a great excuse to visit the gallery at its new space in Tai Kwun.
