Orly Genger

Known for her large scale installations, Genger most commonly uses discarded rope to painstakingly hand knot monumental sculpture. She describes the process as physically challenging and an important part of making her work. Genger's largest installation to date Red, Yellow and Blue was installed in Madison Square Park in New York City in May 2013. Other large scale work has been exhibited at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In 2012, Genger began working in casting aluminum and bronze pieces. The works are more intimate in size. The cast sculptures reference both of her large scale rope pieces as well as her very detailed drawings and collages of superhero limbs.
