Where’s Poppa? presents a series of new minimal assemblage works inspired by black box theater and late 20th-century media. The exhibition examines how cultural fragments shape our understanding of legacy, expectation, and disappointment, offering a meta-commentary on the self as constructed through memory and materiality.
Sam Anderson’s sculptures stage archetypes—a musician, a prophet, a builder, a romantic, an unwelcome visitor, and a unicorn—each composed with symbolic motifs. DNA strands embody the scientific scaffolding of life, the twisting ladder of progress, or the burdens of genetic determinism. Cockroaches and tumbleweeds, interchangeable metaphors for enduring survivors and relics of the American West, reflect the entanglement of life and history within man-made systems. Monotone figures, painted in muted tones, echo the artist George Segal’s plaster casts, extending his exploration of presence and absence.
Many works are choreographed around...More
