John Knight, the American conceptual artist, usually produces his pieces in situ rather than in a studio. What interests him is taking context into account and understanding it in order to reveal its aesthetic, cultural, political, and economic nature.

Thus, no exhibition ever resembles the previous one or the next. His work is characterised as much by the accumulation of information and media as by its apparent absence of content, demonstrated by a catalogue full of blank pages. It was no doubt the wild world of surfing in the 1960s that gave this Californian his taste for freedom and his aversion to limits.
