- NICHOLAS KNIGHT
- Declaimed
Opening reception: Friday, January 14 (7-10PM)
65GRAND is pleased to present Nicholas Knight in his second exhibition with the gallery. The show is comprised of three bodies of photographic work that present the picture as a screen, surface, or chimera, and examine framing and being framed.
Knight's focus ranges from the digitizing and re-scaling of a museumgoer's experience with a work of art (Taking Pictures), to the beguiling language and unstable imagery appropriated from commercial advertising (Disclaimers), to self-referential works made by staging, photographing, and then painting over the elegant lines of a piece of wire (White Outs). The show is tied together by his piercing scrutiny of originality and reproduction, which leads Knight to the very core of photography's function, and helps him to underscore, and, in equal measure, undermine it.
