John Knight's exhibition at Greene Naftali explores paranoia through diary slides and video works
John Knight's latest exhibit at Greene Naftali presents a unique series of slides that resemble diary entries, with stark white text set against black backdrops. These entries detail his experiences with a lithograph project, filled with an intriguing sense of secrecy, portraying his collaborators as clandestine figures. Knight expresses his ambivalence about his involvement, with notes suggesting themes of betrayal or escape. The show also features video and projection artworks curated together without a specific title. Located at 508 West 26th Street in New York City, this exhibition runs until January 8, 2016. It comes on the heels of Trevor Paglen's work on NSA surveillance at Metro Pictures, which wrapped up in October amidst growing concerns over privacy in the US and Europe. Knight’s art explores paranoia and its effects on everyday life.
