In 2016, Bangkok’s BACC held John Sanborn’s largest one person show to date, Shifting Horizons. The exhibition explored autobiography through music, myth and memory. It also demonstrated the artist’s ability to produce epic installations. Celebrated for his groundbreaking single channel works, Sanborn has demonstrated over the last four years a consistently innovative approach to installations. ‘Alchemy’, commissioned as a permanent installation by the National Museum of Qatar, is yet another achievement, comprised of thirty monitors and eight channels. In the company of such artists as Ai Wei Wei, Doug Aitken, filmmaker Mira Nair, John Sanborn continues to challenge his ability to expand the medium, so that it might make the world feel at ease within it.
