Visiting Artist Lecture: Nikholis Planck

Civic Square Building, Room 110

Nikholis Planck (b. 1987, Virginia) is based in New York City.

While primarily focused on painting and drawing, Nikholis’ work ultimately defies categorization as it has also spanned publications, sculpture, and performance. His past orchestrated events are often concerned with breaking down formal boundaries and infused with a general suspicion of the hierarchical contemporary art system. Through sustained idiosyncratic investigations including traditional animation, imagined set design, and premier coup painting, observational drawing continues to be at the root of his work. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions at commercial and non-commercial spaces including Reading Room, Melbourne; Make Room, Los Angeles; High Art, Arles; Apalazzo Gallery, Brescia; Bridget Donahue, New York City; Magenta Plains, New York City; 14a, Hamburg; Green Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn; Signal Gallery, Brooklyn; Neo Chrome, Torino; Kerry Schuss Gallery, New York City; Evening Hours, New York City; and Insect, Los Angeles.
