About Me

KnitKnit, a limited edition artist's publication dedicated to the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary art, was founded in 2002 by artist Sabrina Gschwandtner.
In addition to the journal, KnitKnit has produced receptions, film and video screenings, art shows, and other kinds of events.
KnitKnit has been included in art exhibitions at a number of galleries and museums including: the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Center for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam), KickArts Center of Contemporary Arts (Australia), the Bureau Gallery (Salford, England), Art in General (New York), ThreeWalls (Chicago), Ambrosino Gallery (Miami), Triple Base Gallery (San Francisco), Gavin Brown's Enterprise at Passerby (New York), Visionaire Gallery (New York), and Youngblood Gallery (Atlanta), among others.
KnitKnit issues 1- 7 with their limited edition covers are now included in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Library, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University and The Museum of Modern Art, NYC - anyone can make an appointment to read the KnitKnits there.
The KnitKnit book was published by Stewart, Tabori and Chang in September 2007. You can buy it on Amazon.com.
