Megan Geckler has been creating installations that investigate the dialogue between human experience and architecture since 2000. Her primary medium, flagging tape, is a mass-produced material used to demarcate space on construction sites. Geckler selected flagging tape for its versatility, translucency and bold palette. Her process begins with a rigorous study of the architecture; she then utilizes this data to draw a complex digital model of the installation. These 3D renderings serve as illustrations of the proposed installations, which require teams of volunteers and assistants to create, as they are massive in scale. Her largest piece measures over 90,000 cubic feet. Geckler draws artistic influence from the practices of Christo, James Turrell, Donald Judd and Bridget Riley.

Geckler’s installation history includes solo exhibitions at the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California, Pasadena Museum of California Art, Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City, Women & Their Work in Austin, Texas, and the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, among others.

Geckler received her BFA from Temple University's Tyler School of Art in 1998 and her MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2001. Geckler lives and works in Los Angeles.
