Fred Sandback
In conjunction with Fred Sandback‘s residency, the foundation exhibited work he created during his stay in Santa Fe. The exhibition at Lannan consisted of an installation created for the foundation’s main gallery and related drawings in the adjacent conference room and entranceway.
Mr. Sandback refers to his work as sculpture that “doesn’t take over space, but rather coexists with it.” His work consists of lines in space, created by common knitting yarn, that suggest volume.
Speaking of his sculptures, Mr. Sandback says he left “…discrete sculptural volumes for a sculpture which becomes less of a thing-in-itself, more of a diffuse interface between myself, my environment, and others peopling that environment, built of thin lines that left enough room to move through and around. Still sculpture, though less dense, with an ambivalence between exterior and interior. A drawing that is habitable.”
Mr. Sandback was born in Bronxville, New York, in 1943. He attended Yale University as an undergraduate, student of philosophy. He then transferred to the sculpture program at Yale University School of Art and Architecture, where he received both a B.F.A. in 1966 and an M.F.A in 1969. Since then Sandback’s work has been exhibited regularly in the United States and Europe. He died in New York in 2003.
