Sam Christian is an interdisciplinary artist, living in New York City, working between performance, installation, sculpture and image. 

Across these mediums, their work examines the aesthetics and politics of objects. Their approach involves working with found material to expand upon or suspend established determinations of relation, value, and function. Materials including instruments, tools, containers, appropriated imagery, are used to organize questions around abstraction, legibility and poetics—and how these questions often collide with the logic of capital, technology, and philosophical discourses.
