The Brooklyn Rail: Zach Ritter on Mark Armijo McKnight at The Whitney Museum

"...there has seldom been—and here I struggle to think of a proper antecedent—the type of vision that Mark Armijo McKnight’s photographs provide, where that very landscape is no longer called upon to signify our mastery over nature, and where instead it might still be the site of something elemental, primordial even—perhaps something beyond us entirely."

Mark Armijo McKnight: Decreation @ The Whitney Museum of American Art

Mark Armijo McKnight, Decreation @ The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

Mark Armijo McKnight: Decreation features new and recent black-and-white photographs by Mark Armijo McKnight (b. 1984, Los Angeles, California; lives in New York, New York) and focuses on his ongoing body of work, “Decreation.” A new 16mm film in the gallery plays a cacophonous symphony of gradually unwinding metronomes set within the dramatic geological formations of the Bisti Badlands/De-Na-Zin Wilderness in New Mexico. Two large limestone sculptures, which double as seating, suggest the forms of a pair of ancient sundials.
