The Anita Beckers Gallery is pleased to present the first solo show by American artist John Sanborn in a German gallery.
The exhibition comprises three bodies of work that illustrate Sanborn’s interest in new technology addressing socio- political issues: Identity, Community and Gender as well as our everyday struggle to structure the shattered surrounding into narratives that underlie our existence. John Sanborn is one of the protagonists of American video art. His work was recently shown in a major retrospective at the ZKM in Karlsruhe (Between Order and Entropy, 2022), organized by the late Peter Weibel. The Anita Beckers Gallery is based in Frankfurt am Main (GER) and is one of the few galleries in Germany, which has been focusing on video art and moving image since the 1990s.
In cooperation with the DFF-Deutsches Filminsitut Frankfurt, we will be showing a selection of John Sanborn’s film work there on Sunday, 26.01.25. at 1 pm, which the artist himself will present.
Parallel to the exhibition, a compilation of the first iteration of the work Out of Chaos will be presented as part of the House of Galleries event, which takes place for the first time from 24.1.-26.1.25 in the Trianon high-rise in Frankfurt city center and presents contemporary art from 29 galleries from Frankfurt and Germany.
