Chance, Choice and Original Systems of Art-Making
How much control do you really have? Did you decide to live in a world where oil paints can be squeezed from tubes, where pictures can be posted to a potential audience of billions instantly by pressing a button on your phone? How can you plan in the face of constant change? How can you flow like water through your shifting reality? The bedrock of Sanner’s practice is unpredictability. What gold can be mined when you abandon being in charge?
Erik Sanner is a visual artist living and working in NYC. He has recently exhibited at the Katonah Museum of Art (NY), the MLB Fan Cave (NYC), Tria Gallery (NYC), the Courtauld Institute of Art (London), the Danforth Museum (Massachusetts), LICHT FELD (Basel) and Carmichael Gallery (LA). Sanner’s overarching goals include expanding our experience of painting by utilizing technology, promoting awareness of traffic cone aesthetics, and collaborating with artists and non-artists alike to realize projects no individual would have imagined or executed without sharing their visions and cooperating.
