Margot Quan Knight:
Faith in Science
May 3 - June 1, 2007

reception MAY 3, 2007, 6 – 8 p.m.

Gallery4Culture is pleased to present new photographic works by Seattle artist Margot Quan Knight.

These new photographs and video explore a fantasy found within the conflicted intersection of science and religion. Inspired by our modern world and medieval Christian iconography, the work will stimulate contemplation and dialogue.

The Procreation series interprets the story of the birth of Christ within the context of stem cell research. The five triptychs draw from medieval and Renaissance references. The later Intervals series continues the investigation, this time from a perspective informed by physics. The theoretical becomes personal: each of us has experienced distortions in time when lost in thought or absorbed in a task. Knight translates these sensations into images that tap the spiritual as well as the personal experience of our collective memory of images.

A reception will be held on May 3, 2007, the first Thursday of the month, during the Downtown Artwalk, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend. The exhibition will run from May 3 - June 1, 2007.

The works in this exhibition were created with support from a 2006 Special Projects grant from 4Culture, a 2006 CityArtist grant from the Mayor's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, and a 2005 GAP grant from Artist Trust.
