Photographic venture into the grand architectural settings of museums, stately homes, and academies Karen Knorr's photographic series Connoisseurs & Academies induce a kaleidoscope of memories: Photographed between 1986 and 2005 with an analog camera, her images let us venture into the intricate world of the history of museums and stately homes, of objects, paintings, connoisseurship, and the structures of academies. The use of animals as an allegorical motif is today embedded in Knorr's practice, but they first appear in Connoisseurs, where a chimpanzee becomes the Genius of the Place. Karen Knorr's (b. 1954) works are in the collections of the Tate and Victoria & Albert Museum, London, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, SFMOMA, San Francisco, National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, and Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) in Bangalore, among others.

Over an established career, Karen Knorr's work has developed a critical and playful dialogue with documentary photography through the use of different visual and textual strategies. Her aim is to explore everyday subjects such as family, lifestyle, culture and animal life to subsequently stage them in very unusual contexts. She uses colour to investigate issues of connoisseurship, heritage, and art through staged events in architectural interiors. The use of text and captioning appears as a device to slow down the consumption of images and to comment on received ideas about fine arts in museum culture. These strategies appear in her photographs with digital collages of animals and objects in a variety of architectural interiors. Karen Knorr began the India Song series in 2008, after a life-changing trip to India. These latest images, which draw inspiration from the Indian tradition of personifying animals in literature and art, create scenarios that are at once otherworldly and surreal.
Genii Loci
Since her ground-breaking photographic documentary series in the early 1980s of "the great and the good" in British society, Karen Knorr continues to explore with wit and humour ideas that underpin heritage and patrimony in the formation of national identity. In her recent photographic series, Sanctuary and Spirits, taken in private palaces and public collections, she explores the boundaries between animals and humans in a world that has become relentlessly materialistic and unconcerned with the implications of unlimited consumerism. Genii Loci presents a comprehensive overview of this influential artist's work over the last ten years, including new developments using sound, installation and video.
