About Steven Sacks
After attending ground-breaking media art exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, SF MOMA and the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1999-2000, Sacks became intrigued by the growing field of new media art. Recognizing that this type of art needed to be better understood and legitimized before it would be accessible to curators and serious collectors, he began researching the commercial gallery market and saw an opportunity. In November of 2001 bitforms gallery was established in Chelsea, NY. The gallery’s focus is to represent historical, mid-career, and emerging artists critically engaged with new technologies. Spanning the rich history of media art through its current developments, the gallery’s program offers an incisive perspective on the fields of digital, internet, time-based, and new media art forms.
bitforms gallery artists are in the collections of the Whitney Museum, NY; Museum of Modern Art, NY; Tate Modern, London; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Center for Art and Media (ZKM), Karlsruhe; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul and many other institutions and private/corporate collections worldwide.
