Lisa Neighbour at Katharine Mulherine - N. Post, July 3, 2004

Lisa Neighbour’s School of Knots is a real shot of visual spectacle, a sublime and obsessively crafted series of light-bulb wall sculptures held together by reams of electrical wires that have been strung together by the long forgotten art of macrame. Neighbour has been working with bulbs and braided electrical cords since the early 1990s to varying degrees of masterful success. This rich dazzler of a show is best seen at night and looking in at the one-room gallery space from outside. It’s all lit up like a Portuguese festival. -co
