Garth Knight works with and photographs rope and bodies as sculptural forms, creating allegorical installations that combine Zen concepts and pagan mythology with the traditions of kinbaku bondage. His tableaux of intricate, decorative networks connect ideas of strength and pleasure with those of surrender and abandonment. His installations and performance focus on the ritual of making, becoming an act of meditation and a process leading to illumination. He also creates complex digital montages, combining thousands of image fragments to produce scintillating new forms moulded into imagined creatures. His works have been exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and he has self published several books. Born in Tasmania in 1972 he lives and works in Sydney, Australia.

Some views of he Pratt Institute Library where I spent many hours digging for books. The Pratt Institute Library was built as a public as well as a college library, and was the first free Library in New York City. It was built by architect William B. Tubby in Victorian Renaissance revival style, with interiors by the Tiffany Decorating Company. Definitely one of the most special places on campus. The glass floors and stairs combined with the highly ornamented structural stacks make it a unique interior space.

Hi,

I mostly do photography, illustration and drawing. I hope you will like my drawing and you can see some of my pictures on my website. Enjoy

Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955–1980


Museum of Modern Art , March 29–July 19, 2015


"In 1955 The Museum of Modern Art staged Latin American Architecture since 1945, a landmark survey of modern architecture in Latin America. On the 60th anniversary of that important show, the Museum returns to the region to offer a complex overview of the positions, debates, and architectural creativity from Mexico and Cuba to the Southern Cone between 1955 and the early 1980s.


This period of self-questioning, exploration, and complex political shifts also saw the emergence of the notion of Latin America as a landscape of development, one in which all aspects of cultural life were colored in one way or another by this new attitude to what emerged as the “Third World.” The 1955 exhibition featured the result of a single photographic campaign, but Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955–1980 brings together a wealth of original materials that have never before been brought together and, for the most part, are rarely exhibited even in their home countries.”

Tyler Akers’ photo-collaged drawings and performance work often appropriate and celebrate the work of other artists in an informational context. Most of Akers’ works are made with makers on paper: frameworks of interlocking colored shapes and text that embed photocopied images of artists and their work. With an Art History BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design and a minor in New Media Studies, he finished an MFA degree in Art Criticism and Writing at the School of Visual Arts in 2014. His most recent performance, titled The Tribute Project: Agnes Martin, was an unauthorized performance at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, an exploration of critical methodologies applied to museum visitor policies. Born in West Virginia, Akers currently enjoys living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
