Mark Armijo McKnight’s exhibition “Cut the World” continues through October 24.

Writing about the work for the FT Weekend Magazine, Gem Fletcher states:

“Armijo Mcknight’s work offers a formalist eye to an embodied and sentient landscape. Clouds crest like a wave over strange topography: a dune appears abandoned and wounded, while a fin whale, once majestic and abundant, lies beached on the shore. The work invites us to grapple with the idea that when darkness becomes overwhelming, the response isnt to escape it - but to go towards it. “The cut is not only damage; it’s also an opening,” the artist says. “A wound, a fracture, an incision: each marks violence, but each also creates a passage. The redemptive possibility of the cut is not that the wound disappears or is repaired, but that rupture can become a site of transformation.””

Mark Armijo McKnight’s exhibition, “Cut the World” continues through October 24.

In her exhibition catalog essay, Ksenia M. Soboleva writes, “At the top of a hill in New Mexico, a figure sits with his arms wrapped around his knees and his head tucked down, unconsolable (Untied, 2026).
The posture recalls Hippolyte Flandrin’s 1836 painting of a boy on the rock, which found a homosexual audience after it was turned into an engraving by Jean-Baptiste Danguin in 1887, allowing the image, and the desire it evoked, to travel and spread widely. Since then, it has been taken up by q***r photographers including F. Holland Day, Wilhelm von Gloeden, Claude Cahun, and Robert Mapplethorpe. Armijo McKnight was not aware of this visual serendipity and arrived at the posture without knowing this history, which suggests the image is not so much inherited as repeatedly found. It is the shape q***r solitude takes.”

Mark Armijo McKnight’s new show, “Cut the World” features the premiere of the artist’s new film “Against a Bad Infinity” screening in the front gallery.

Ksenia M Soboleva writes in the shows catalog:

“In the film that accompanies the photographs (Against a Bad Infinity, 2025), part of a trilogy that includes the one shown at the Whitney, the camera pans across a rocky landscape empty of people and full of metronomes. This is Ligeti’s Poème Symphonique of 1962 restaged in a landscape: a hundred wind-up metronomes set going at different speeds, released together, and left to run down. It is a way of keeping time and a record of time running out. But where Ligeti’s piece ends on one metronome, Armijo McKnight ends on two, a pair that echoes González-Torres’s “Untitled (Perfect Lovers, 1991)”. Cage’s legacy is felt here as well, as Ligeti’s piece emerged from his brief involvement with Fluxus.
Though 4’33” is often flattened into a piece “about silence,” what the closed piano lid produced was not silence but attention to the sound already in the room: the shuffling of chairs, the audience breathing. What is left when the metronomes stop is not silence either, but the landscape continuing without human intervention.”

Cut the World is on view through October 24.
