1. John Knight at Greene Naftali
Dates
Through March 2.
Location
Greene Naftali, 508 West 26th Street, Ground Floor, Manhattan.
Description
The conceptual artist John Knight is currently showcasing his work at Greene Naftali. Known for his revelatory style of institutional critique, Knight’s interventions in exhibition spaces aim to undermine the mystery of neutral art-viewing conditions and bring buried histories to the surface. In the past, he has asked galleries to remove their doors and painted project spaces to resemble their original purposes. At Greene Naftali, Knight has made a thought-provoking move by having the track lighting in one room moved from the ceiling to the floor. This forces viewers to confront and consider an aspect of the gallery experience that is typically overlooked.
Knight’s work is reminiscent of Michael Asher, another conceptual artist known for his analytical and playful moves within the art world. While Asher ran daylong critiques with students and orchestrated unconventional museum hours, Knight embodies a more puckish and punk style. His exhibition at Greene Naftali is sure to challenge and engage viewers in unexpected ways.
