RICHARD KNOX - LAND MARKS AT KIN.DER

LAND MARKS. A monoprint exhibition and sound installation.

Land Marks is a visual and audio body of work by artist, musician and KIN.DER co-founder Richard Knox that explores gestural and experimental textures using ink and sound.

Art and music woven together. Chance happenings that remain permanent.

The walls, pavements, bridges and fields serve as unrelenting inspiration. Constant presence. The grit, rust, water, paint and decay, a perpetual mark maker on these everyday experiences. Otherworldly contours. The permanence of happy accidents. The unintended that somehow resonates. Inadvertently. Captivating points of discovery on the familiar commute. Pay attention to your surroundings, to the details, to the seemingly familiar. Look deeper. Explore beauty in the decay.

Land Marks features 20 new pieces of monoprint and mixed-media work and takes place at KIN.DER. Opening on Saturday May 20th for one day with a live performance from Richard in the evening, the exhibition will then re-open on May 27th through to May 29th as part of Derbyshire Open Arts

Musically, Land Marks explores long-form drone composition, predominantly using electric guitar. Distorted, broken motifs struggle through layers of reverb. Subtle pulses flicker in the distance. Bowed notes appear and fall away. The sound rooted in improvisation, in experimentation, in collapsing textures.

Land Marks is released on May 19th via Richard’s own label, Gizeh Records.
