Information about artist Gabriel Dawe's
Originally from Mexico City, Gabriel Dawe’s work is centered in the exploration of textiles, aiming to examine the complicated construction of gender and identity in his native Mexico and attempting to subvert the notions of masculinity and machismo prevalent in the present day. His site-specific installations also explore the connection between fashion and architecture, and how they relate to the human need for shelter in all its shapes and forms. His work has been exhibited in the US, Canada, Belgium, and the UK.
Artist Statement:
The Plexus series is an ongoing series of installations that explore on the implications of thread and fibers as loaded materials implicating the complicated construction of gender and identity not only in my native Mexico, but throughout the western world. These installations are related as well to the human need for shelter and man’s ultimate vulnerability. One thing fashion and architecture have in common is their function of protecting the individual. By taking the main component of clothing—sewing thread—and generating an architectural structure with it, scale and material are reversed to create a new construction that no longer shelters the material needs of the body, but instead creates something that is symbolic of the non- physical structures humanity needs to survive as a species. These new structures are ethereal and delicate thanks to the fine thread; yet, despite their insubstantial quality, the play of lines create a visual effect that affects the viewer’s perception, becoming a full sensorial experience.
With the Pain Series, I explore the way in which pain is an unavoidable aspect of life, and how every single human being carries it in one way or another. These intimate objects confront the viewers with their own vulnerability. Made out of deconstructed clothing, there is an immediacy in the recognition that they are portraying something that relates intimately to them, and that’s what makes them such powerful objects. The visual effect that the accumulation of pins produces, creates an illusion of armor and protection, which can be interpreted as the idea that the pain we endure makes us stronger, and helps us transform and grow into the beings we are.

Megan Geckler :
Upon first look, Megan Geckler’s work seems to be digital in nature; the colors are vibrant and unreal. Geckler’s process always begins with a site-visit during which she takes countless photographs, measurements and observations of the unique spaces in which she will work. This information is then translated into three-dimensional architectural drawings that help Geckler understand the site and aid in her ability to transform everyday elements of the architecture into focal points for her site-specific artworks. An installation can take a single day, or be completed over a series of weeks, depending on the size and scope of the project. In either case, each space is transformed into an immersive environment in which the viewer is given multiple pathways to experience the installation on their own terms.
Geckler has been exhibiting in galleries, museums and alternative spaces since 1998, with many shows in the United States and soon exhibiting around the globe. She has has mounted solo shows at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Pasadena Museum of California Art, Museum of Art and History and the Torrance Art Museum among others and has worked with clients such as Target, Urban Outfitters, Nike, Bobble and the Creative Artists Agency.
Geckler received her BFA from the Tyler School of Art / Temple University in 1998 and her MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2001.

Marcel Duchamp
I have find this website it have great information about Marcel that he fowl time placement and creating artworks
Marcel said < I listened to this with my headphones on, and at times thought there were sounds coming from inside my house. There were surprising sounds that made me jump, and then laugh at myself for doing so. There is the sound of a Squeaky Toy and the sound of a Musical Box that is tuneless ... a little disturbing ...and then there comes the surprise ... a Horn ...just one sound of the Horn to jolt you out of your comfort zone! The Music Box continues and begins to jar a little on the nerves...I think "when will it end".....then finally there is a recognition of a nursery rhyme that you question .... is it or isn't it.... the the sounds end.

He did not return to Russia until he visited his remaining family in 1962, but lived and worked in Berlin until 1932, making constructed sculptures and a number of architectural projects.In 1932 he left Germany for Paris remaining there until 1936, when he went to England.

I really like these artists artwork because the way artists used strings as part of their sculpture work and also they have used some support marliest to build the sculpture.
