Sam Lewitt (born 1981 in Los Angeles, California) is an American contemporary artist living and working in Berlin.
He received a BFA from School of Visual Arts, NY and was a participant in the Whitney Independent Study Program (ISP) in 2004/5.
Lewitt is represented by the Miguel Abreu Gallery[1] in New York City and Galerie Buchholz[2] in Cologne and Berlin.
Art historian André Rottman writes: "Lewitt has developed a practice that deliberately collapses the physical aesthetic object into the placeless topologies of global production, exchange and distribution.
Instead of simply occupying the supposedly stable perimeters of a given exhibition venue, Lewitt’s projects time and again signal and register, infiltrate and reroute the flow and movement of information and capital, of energy and heat that are operative, yet often concealed or hidden from view, in the standardized mechanisms, closed systems, and infrastructures supporting and shaping the sites of artistic work and public reception beyond the gallery or the museum.
