At Egg Collective’s Tribeca gallery in New York, Knock on Wood is a wood art exhibition that brings together a group of contemporary artists exploring wood as myth, memory, and meaning. Curated by Egg Collective, the New York-based design studio known for bridging applied and fine arts, the show invites viewers to experience wood not just as a raw material, but as a deeply symbolic medium that carries centuries of cultural and spiritual meaning.
Egg Collective’s contemporary wood art exhibition features works by Natasha Alphonse, Joshua Vogel, Hildegarde Haas, Julian Watts, and others, each contributing pieces that embrace slowness, intention and craftsmanship. The result is a mediation on chance, ritual, and the quiet power of objects.
Knock on Wood reflects contemporary design that prioritizes the preservation of ancestral techniques. Visitors can expect a sensory and conceptual experience that merges folklore with formalism, with each artwork a vessel for meaning.
Running during NYCxDESIGN, Knock on Wood prompts viewers to see this ancient medium through a reverent, modern lens.
