Sanford Biggers: The Extinction Agenda

Sanford Biggers’s exhibition “The Extinction Agenda,” titled for an album by Organized Konfusion, centers the artist’s acknowledgment of a debt to the intercultural communication of traditions and knowledge. Highlighted here are new additions to two of Biggers’s ongoing series—Codex and Chimera—which utilize the opposing materials of quilting and marble, respectively, each employed as a patchwork of parts that comes together to create a new object. From these series, viewers will find works like the celestial quilted Untitled, looking at the function of star maps and the titular work belonging to Biggers’s Chimera series, which highlights the effects of different marbles. Inaugurating Massimo De Carlo’s new Hong Kong gallery, the artist’s first solo exhibition in the city will remain open through June 6.
