WPCA is proud to announce the beginning of our Featured Member exhibition series. Artists are juried from the body of work included in WPCA’s Annual Members Show, a non-juried exhibition of our Members, which takes place every September.
Knopow is interested in creating systems to capture fleeting phenomena.
The content of each system revolves around a fascination with
collecting the uncollectible; items that are too common, too gross, or
intangible to exist in a proper collection. Each item has a separate
system, some as simple as just collecting the object and others involve
more traditional recordkeeping. Eventually, the objects and/or the
record of the objects become part of an archive to preserve the item for
examination in the future, elevating the uncollectible to the
aesthetic. Knopow’s hope in each collection is to create something so
beautiful that the viewer is compelled to investigate the piece and then
completely surprised by the material.
