See "Karla Knight: Orbit" - now extended through June 20th.

In his review, Phillip Edward Spradley listens to the music of the spheres: "[Knight’s orbs] function as visual anchors without stabilizing into singular symbols. At times they evoke planets, cells, or eyes; elsewhere they feel purely diagrammatic. Their repetition creates continuity across the exhibition while preserving openness. They seem to signify presence itself more than any fixed idea."

Spradley adds, "the exhibition’s real subject may not be aliens, ancient civilizations, or the cosmos at all, but perception itself: the strange human urge to keep searching the sky and the ground for signs that we are not alone, not first, not finished. Like many aspects of life, paying attention pays off. Here, it pays in wonder."

In his review of "Orbit," 's Brian Karl tunes into the cryptic frequencies of Karla Knight. "Knight’s ongoing creative project [invites] visitors to contemplate entry into new vistas, suggesting that there might be underlying forces working just beyond our perception. Her lively yet methodical two-dimensional grids imply not only a third dimension but further significant under-attended dimensions, if only we could parse the signs inscribed for us."

Karl adds, "if the steps [Knight] maps don’t resolve to any definitive meaning, no matter — putting thought and imagination into play might be the whole point."

See the Blue Moon passing over Libra in the evening hours this week; see "Karla Knight: Orbit" through June 13.

In his Frieze NY round-up for , Brian P. Kelly singles out the works of Karla Knight, calling it "the most outward-looking art at the fair."

He describes: "In diagrammatic canvases that look like otherworldly computer chips, [Knight] writes her own invented language and creates charts and instructions inscrutable to the viewer—not a problem since they’re meant for nonhuman entities. In the lineage both of outsider artists obsessed with aliens and of painters like Hilma af Klint who have looked to communicate the incommunicably spiritual in their work, these sharply detailed pieces are as absorbing as they are mysterious."

For , Elisa Carollo calls our Booth D01 "an absolute must-see [...] which offers some of the most refreshing outsider perspectives at the fair. Standing out are the mysterious astronomical diagrams and cosmological codes by Karla Knight, whose invented languages and satellite-like forms imagine systems of knowledge from elsewhere. Building her own linguistic system of glyphs, diagrams, orbs, satellites and cosmic structures, she creates a visual language hovering between an occult manuscript, a scientific chart, a children’s code and an extraterrestrial transmission."

She adds, "Resonating with [Knight] is the delightfully mysterious storytelling of human-alien encounters in paintings by cartoonist and author Esther Pearl Watson, capturing both the neo-mythologies and vernacular melodrama of American life."

Plus, see works by Paulina Peavy "glorious abstractions", as well the "quiet star of the booth" by Melvin Way (Alex Greenberger for ).

Visit us here at Booth D01 through Sunday 5/17.

Happy to wake up to Alex Greenberger’s review in ARTnews of our Frieze Booth D01! Come visit us here at The Shed through Sunday, 5/17.

writes: "Dealers, a word of advice: If you must present a multi-artist booth, at least bind the works by a theme. (Do not simply clear inventory.) Take notes from Andrew Edlin Gallery, whose smart Frieze booth convenes four artists who contend with extraterrestrial beings and worlds beyond our own. Paulina Peavy, who claimed to have communicated with spirits during the 20th century, is represented by an array of glorious abstractions, including one in which a moth-like being with a pearl for a head navigates a forest of billowy forms. Esther Pearl Watson and Karla Knight, meanwhile, have paintings that engage with a continued fascination with aliens—a timely topic, given the Pentagon’s recent release of the so-called UFO files. But the quiet star of the booth is a Melvin Way drawing that appears to map a chemical compound that doesn’t exist. One wonders what Way knew that the rest of us did not.”

Two works by Esther Pearl Watson are featured as early highlights for this year’s Frieze New York!

In a article the painting “I Wish Aliens” is described: “[p]layfully narrating the experience of an economically precarious family living in rural America, Watson’s work highlights ‘an absurd, persistent and particularly American optimism that only seems to grow stronger in the face of failures of family, policy and the American Dream.’”

Plus, in her selection of Online Viewing Room highlights, cook/author Alison Roman singles out Watson’s “Dust Clouds Around the Perimeter of the Galaxy” as a top pick.

You can see new works by Watson, as well as paintings and works on paper by Karla Knight, Paulina Peavy, and Melvin Way at our Booth D01, starting tomorrow May 13, through May 17 at The Shed.
