Daniel Knorr’s solo exhibition Skylight will open at MANGROVEGALLERY on April 25, 2026. This marks the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, continuing his exploration of material transformation and the structure of perception.
Skylight unfolds around a familiar yet specific architectural element: an opening positioned above us within homes, offices, and institutional spaces, embedded in or between walls. It marks a threshold through which the sky enters the field of vision, where interior and exterior momentarily converge.
In Knorr’s practice, this architectural component points both to concrete industrial remnants and to a site through which perception and viewing are articulated. Skylight transforms a fleeting and often overlooked experience into a perceptible material form. The works engage with the shifting conditions of the sky – its moods and atmospheres – framing what lies beyond architectural confines within a defined field of visibility. Through his engagement with materials and processes, Knorr interrogates how form and meaning are continually reconfigured and redefined within contemporary conditions of production and perception.
