THURSDAY
Julije Knifer at Mitchell-Innes & Nash
February 6 – March 15
Opening: February 6, 6-8pm

The exhibition will be the first ever solo show of Knifer’s work in the United States, and will include work from the early 1960s through the 2000’s.

Doug Wheeler at David Zwirner
February 6 – March 29
537 West 20th Street
Known for the seminal light environments that he developed in the 1960s and 70s, Wheeler will present a new type of installation that he calls “a rotational horizon work,” which will occupy the ground floor gallery. Connected visually and conceptually to his previous works, this immersive environment will emphasize the viewer’s physical experience of space, focusing attention on the way light almost imperceptibly changes along the horizon as the earth turns.
