A current installation at the Wexner Center for the Arts “Six Solos” show, Megan Geckler‘s “Spread the Ashes of the Colors” has been a resounding hit and we are happy to share it with our readers. A time lapse video of the installation, additional photos, press quotes an the artist statement all after the break.
“Spread the ashes of the colors” – is a site specific drawing in space inside the iconic deconstructivist architectural example, the Wexner Center for the Arts, designed by Peter Eisenman, one of the NY Five. (Here is a photo of what the lobby looked like before my project was installed.) This piece was designed and created entirely on site over the span of 12 continuous days. A HD time-lapse video is posted that shows the entire installation process – set to the music from which the title was taken – Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood (Tunnels)”
