Read MoreMark McKnight for This Long Century
“The smell of the bones was unimaginable. I moved them from place to place: at first to my partners home and later my parents. These people love me, and in turn, I love these decaying objects to whom I feel similarly beholden. In the process, the bones accrued more psychic baggage and subsequently more meaning. The whole thing felt like a strange dream. I, who spent most of the pandemic without a home, found myself dragging these bones from place to place trying to find one for them.”

Read MoreArtForum, Andy Campbell on Mark McKnight
“Sun pounds thirsty ground. Two guys—bearish, without inhibitions, brown—fuck across several photographs in ‘‘Hunger for the Absolute’… McKnight’s photographs depict, in high-contrast black and white, moments of beatific calm in the midst of carnal frenzy.”
Read MoreMOUSSE Magazine: Captured and Released, Andrew Berardini on Mark McKnight
“The seen and the unseen rub together with such potent friction that the smooth sheen of the photograph’s surface becomes a pool of water for a submerged world of intense contrasts more real than the one we see it from.”
Read MoreLos Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight reviews Mark McKnight: Hunger for the Absolute at Park View / Paul Soto
“McKnight deftly harnesses standard metaphors — the tree as home to the spirit, sanctuary of the soul; the landscape as an unsullied Eden set against a fraught humanity — and turns them to his own ends… the frankly symbolic, formally attuned, ethereally abstract and potently political all merge in a suite of eight highly engaging photographs."

“It's in this etherous affect of violence, of horror - removed from a strict concept of corpse - that both you and the algorithm respond to a tree. Not so different after all, husks of the dead, apophenic machines. There's more content to that Bernini-like grasping of flesh than the new church would allow.”
