Sarah Anderson

10 Sep. 2022 - 22 Oct. 2022

Sarah is a Brooklyn-based artist. She holds a BFA in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She has attended residencies internationally, including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Maine), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace (New York), A.I.R. (Brooklyn), KinoSaito Arts Center (New York), Mana Contemporary BSMT (Jersey City), La Escuelita (Nicaragua), and CanSerrat (Barcelona). Her work has been exhibited at galleries institutions such as LaMama Galleria, Abrons Art Center, The Wallach Gallery at Columbia University, NURTUREart, Helena Anrather Gallery, A.I.R, Signs & Symbols, and Vox Populi.

Sarah’s practice engages a broad interdisciplinary investigation integrating various media and research areas while remaining focused on sculpture as a specific field of inquiry. Her questions are negotiated through queerness as a mode of generative translation- a method of appropriating systems like Minimalism and abstraction to tell stories about being a body that desires, destroys, and is damaged. The work explores the violence and desire that flows between an internalized sense of self and its varied physical personas. The purpose is to make objects that point a viewer towards a more complicated subjective relationship to things in the world through formal, spatial, and narrative means.
