John Knight creates projects in situ, which are the result of careful observation of specific sites, and ex situ, which bring references to other places into the exhibition space. Whether in situ or ex situ, Knight’s works are context dependent, crystalizing the social, political, and economic forces that structure our built environment.

John Knight: A work in situ is curated by Giampaolo Bianconi, associate curator, Modern and Contemporary Art.

SPONSORS This exhibition is organized by the Art Institute of Chicago with major funding from the Bluhm Family Endowment Fund, which supports exhibitions of modern and contemporary sculpture.
