Biography
Sam Durant is a North Atlantic artist whose interdisciplinary work engages a variety of social, political, and cultural issues. His methodology is research based but with an emphasis on social engagement, often working with communities and groups in collaborative and performative formations. He has done major public art projects, Labyrinth () in Philadelphia which addressed mass incarceration and The Meeting House () in Concord, MA that took up the subject of race in colonial and contemporary New England. His most recent public work Untitled (drone) was installed on the High Line Plinth in New York from and raised the issues of drone warfare and surveillance.
Growing up near Boston, MA in the ’s he experienced anti-war and civil rights demonstrations and the attempted desegregation of the Boston school system. Exposure to an educational culture emphasizing democratic ideals, racial equality and social justice created the foundation for Durant’s artistic perspective. Often taking up forgotten histories, his works make connections with present and ongoing social and cultural issues. Durant’s interest in monuments and memorials began with Proposal for Monument at Altamont Raceway (), continued notably with Proposal for White and Indian Dead Monument Transp • Ales [?], M.
