About The Work
The work of Sam Durant investigates utopia and its failure in relation to protest and counterculture movements in American political history. In his sculptures, installations, and drawings, Durant connects and overlaps several references to the artistic and political history of the 60’s and 70’s. Durant re-presents iconic symbols from popular music, art, white student protest, and Black Power, reflecting an intensely utopian yet nihilistic moment, when a counterculture both succeeded and failed at changing the world. More recently, Durant has focused on the history of civil rights protests from the same period.
