J Knoblach: Taking Up Space

J Knoblach lives and works in New Orleans but was born in Slidell near Honey Island Swamp. The combination of running cross country and track and studying feminist body art led to an interdisciplinary practice rooted in performance. Byproducts of a physical action may become sculpture, photography, video, or text. In some instances, the audience is invited to interact directly with the work, such as the installation Dial Zero. Solo exhibitions include Magenta Alert at Staple Goods (2017) and Welcome to the #socialartwork at Good Children Gallery (2014). Knoblach has also had artwork exhibited at Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, The Ogden Museum, The Louisiana State Museum, UNO St. Claude Gallery, and Antenna Gallery, among others. Knoblach is a new member of Staple Goods.
