KNOX, Gordon

Gordon Knox identifies, develops and implements international projects that combine the understandings and techniques of the humanities and the sciences and engage them in on-the-ground efforts to effect social change. Previously Knox was at the Montalvo Arts center in Saratoga, California where he designed, developed and established the organization’s international participation in the world of arts and letters through the Lucas Artists Programs. Implementing his commitment to the open flow of ideas and underscoring his belief that the advancement of civil society requires articulate critical analysis and inclusive social action, Knox helped establish Montalvo as an institution recognized for its ambitious projects often involving unusual collaborations. During the 1990’s as the founding Director of the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Italy, Knox envisioned and established a center for the arts designed to advance and widen the discourse of contemporary cultural practice by engaging the voices and thinking of practitioners from all parts of the world and providing them with excellent conditions to advance their work. Civitella quickly became a new model for international, multidisciplinary residency programs. Knox has advised numerous international residency programs and cultural institutions in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa in the areas of fund raising, management, program design and international collaboration. He has served as an advisor and on the boards of the Paris Review, Res Artis, Roulette, the Ratti Foundation, the Sanskriti Foundation, the Atlantic Center for the Arts among others. Knox’s interest in the role of the arts in society and the process of critical, artistic inquiry stems from his extensive training as a social anthropologist exploring the relationship between ideas and social action.
