Christopher Knowles.
Christopher Knowles (born 1959, New York; lives Brooklyn) is regarded as a poet and painter, yet his output spans many mediums—text, sound, painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance—including pieces made in collaboration with esteemed theater director Robert Wilson.
Taken together, Knowles’s art places him squarely in the tradition of Laurie Anderson, Joseph Beuys, Stuart Sherman, Paul Thek, and other twentieth-century artists who opened a large window on do-it-yourself production, interiority and the shifting registers with which an artist’s voice can enunciate in social settings.
