Andrea Burgay Interviews Clive Knights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clive Knights has recently begun to explore the potency of what he calls \u201clight-ray excavation\u201d. An LED light table allows the exploration of collage relationships through the depth of layered images, as well as across the surface. In this interview, he discusses what this technique reveals and how it relates to his architectural design teaching and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conversation between artists Clive Knights and Andrea Burgay evolved from a discussion planned for Kolaj Fest New Orleans. Introducing the atypical collage practices of both artists, the dialogue focuses on the use of physical methods of excavation as a metaphor for ideas that drive their work. Part One, Burgay’s interview with Knights, appears in Kolaj<\/em> #28. Part Two, in Kolaj<\/em> #29, will feature Knights interviewing Burgay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Portland, Oregon, Clive Knights is a collage artist and printmaker, as well as a Professor of Architecture and the Director of the School of Architecture at Portland State University. For over three decades, he has deployed collage techniques in his teaching as a way of teasing out imaginary settings with depth and character from the flatness of a sheet of paper. He has exhibited his collages, monotypes and architectural drawings internationally since inclusion in the 1985 Venice Biennale. National venues have included the Tacoma Museum of Art and participation in juried group shows at galleries and art centers across sixteen states. His article, \u201cStranger at the Studio Table\u201d, about architecture and collage was published in Kolaj<\/em> #17<\/a>. His work was also included in Collage Artist Trading Cards<\/em>, Pack 5, Cut Me Up<\/em> #2, and Oltre Collage Fanzine<\/em> #3. Learn more at www.cliveknights.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
