CCA Kitakyushu presents a new work by John Knight.

For nearly five decades, the elusive but influential Los Angeles-based artist John Knight has developed a practice of site specificity that tests both architectural and ideological boundaries of the museum, gallery, and public sphere. Knight’s works defy notions of stylistic coherence, even, at times, of instant recognizability. Grounded in a sustained method of inhabiting the material, discursive, and economic conditions of varied sites, his works systematically challenge notions of object, sign and authorship.

For the project at CCA, John Knight refers to his early work Levels (1969), as a point of material departure for a work that moves from in to ex situ by way of a

topological thread between two distant locations experienced during his initial visit to Kitakyushu.

John Knight stays at CCA on the last day of the exhibition, March 16th, 2019.
