Daniel Knorr at The Project, 
January 13-February 3, 2002 
Opening reception Sunday, January 13, 2-6 PM 
> 
The Project is pleased to announce the first U.S. solo
exhibition of Berlin conceptual artist Daniel Knorr.
For his show at the Project, Knorr pays homage to
seminal artists Duchamp, Kaprow and Warhol by
transfiguring ordinary objects and activities within a
gallery space. Knorr will present "Klaus, Klaus comes
by foot", an installation with a museum guard named
Klaus from Berlin as its subject. Klaus will live in a
makeshift apartment on the second floor of the
gallery, with a wall dividing him from viewers and the
rest of the gallery space. The installation affords
viewers questionable interaction with the work since
they are only permitted entrance to the private living
space when invited by its inhabitant, thereby making
interaction with the work dependent upon its subject. 
> 
The simultaneously elusive and interactive nature of
the work challenges the esoteric nature of the typical
gallery experience. Instituting a denial of the
object, of placing actual people in artist
choreographed "Happenings," the materiality of art is
challenged and the boundaries between theater,
performance, and ordinary life are blurred. The
relationship between art and life is further
complicated by recent developments in contemporary
science and technology where the distinctions between
virtual and natural space 
>become slippery. Knorr tests these areas of public,
private, natural and artificial space while examining
the connections between artist, audience and subject
and demonstrates that it remains a rich field for
exploration. 
> 
Daniel Knorr has had solo shows at the Serge Ziegler
Galerie and the Centre d'Art Contemporain in
Switzerland, as well at the Kuntsforum Lenbachhaus and
Akademiegalerie in Munich. Past group exhibitions
include "Space Co-Opted" at Andrew Kreps Gallery in
New York, "LISTE 2000" in Basel, "Hey International
Competition Style," in TENT Rotterdam, "On the spot,"
in Bern, and "Update," in Kopenhagen.
