(KNIGHT, JOHN). Knight, John, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh & Alexander Alberro. Foreword by Beatrice Stern. Mountainville, NY: Storm King Art Center, 2001. First Edition 1/1300. 8vo. Stapled Die-Cut Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fine.. 36pp, 12 b&w and 8 color illustrations. Designed by Katy Homans. This is one of the series of slender catalogues produced to document John Knight's exhibitions and public projects over the past thirty-five years. Austerely designed in a serial format of white, often die-cut wrappers, this installment documents Knight's 2001 outdoor Storm King Art Center installation entitled "87º". "John Knight’s work, 87°, draws the viewer’s focus off the Art Center’s property to an industrial object in its viewshed: the shapely water tower of the former Star Expansion Company. From a telescope on a newly constructed viewing platform, a visual line is drawn obliquely across the allée of trees in the center’s south fields to the upper portion of the water tower, about a mile away. Looking beyond Storm King, the work highlights the institutions relationship to its larger sociopolitical context, including its role within evolving regional land-use systems. Focusing on these overlooked aspects of contextual relevance, it adds meaning to a key element of Storm King’s success: the value of a well-placed lookout." A bright, most handsome example.

History teaches us that a language of flowers can communicate endless things about the culture in which it emerged, and herein lies Lilia Luganskaia's interest. Taking inspiration from the world of 19th Century sentimental flower books, Hortus presents itself as a set of notes towards a modern handbook for contemporary floriography, considering what the discipline might look like today. By collecting common flora across one year in the urban gardens around her home in Amsterdam and cross-referencing their meanings with publications from the past, Luganskaia reflects on their natures, their roles, and the symbolic familiarity they might hold for the communities living with them. A female artist and reader of the twenty-first century, she seeks out the essence of modern life through her lens, and through flowers, just like the women who came before her.” The Hortus project is an open investigation into the nature of seemingly common objects through 'Floriography', urban gardens, and the history of female rights. Hortus was inspired by urban gardens in West Amsterdam and created with its plants by Lilia Luganskaia. Inventory Number: I00220628
