Megan Geckler - Set a Course for Wayward Schemes (1, in the rain) @ Bert Green

The above piece, Set a Course For Wayward Schemes, is currently on view at Bert Green Fine Art in Downtown LA. I thought that the bright colours of the piece went perfectly with the rainy day on which I viewed it. Here’s a closeup of one window, and a closer-up of another.

Megan Geckler is an installation artist who, to my knowledge, works exclusively with flagging tape. I first saw her work in the form of the installation, Fill It Up and Pour it Down the Inside, at the Torrance Art Museum in 2006, and I later curated her into FR8, where she did an installation inside of a shipping container, I Can Tell You How This Ends (view time lapse video of the install here), as part of 2007’s Art on the Waterfront festival. So I can say from experience that the above install takes a tremendous amount of precise work to make happen, and that the results are worth the effort.
