Sanford Biggers is a New York artist. His 2007 work BLOSSOM was shown at the Portland Art Museum in 2009. Biggers' work is a fusion of East meets West, Buddhism meets African American Hip Hop, taking place from the train yards of Los Angeles to the Zen temples of Japan, to the galleries of New York. In 2008 he organized an improvised bell-ringing at a Zen temple in Japan where a number of the bells were fabricated from melted-down hip-hop jewelry. The video of this event, ILLUMINATIONS, was shown at the Tate Modern in 2008.
