Sam Durant is a multimedia artist whose work engages social,
political, and cultural issues. His work has been widely exhibited
in the UK, Europe, Asia and the Americas. It has been included in
the Panama, Sydney, Venice, and Whitney Biennials and can be found
in many public collections including MOMA, New York, Project Row
Houses, Houston and Tate Modern, London. Based in Los Angeles,
Durant teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. Durant's
'The Meeting House' (2016) was a public art project at The Old
Manse, a National Historic Landmark built in 1770 and former home
and gathering place for politicians, thinkers, and
transcendentalists including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel
Hawthorne. The sister exhibition at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles in
2017, 'Build Therefore Your Own World', introduced new works that
expanded upon Durant's premise of the interdependence between
transcendentalists, abolitionists, and African American writers of
pre- and post-revolutionary America in the creation of American
culture and identity.Featured in The Meeting House / Build
Therefore Your Own World is a full-colour photo documentation of
the project in Concord, MA and Los Angeles, CA as well as new
essays by Pedro Alonzo, independent curator, and Tim Phillips,
pioneer in the field of conflict resolution and reconciliation; and
a new collection of poems by Tisa Bryant, Robin Coste Lewis,
Danielle Legros Georges, and Kevin Young, who recently became
Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in
New York.
