Known for transforming common nylon ropes into beautiful, specific objects, New York-based artist Orly Genger will hand crochet her largest, most ambitious work to date, piling more than 600,000 feet of brown painted rope into an enormous organic mound entitled, Come, that will measure approximately 35x20 feet. According to Genger, the nearly six ton sculpture will be "confrontational and persistent," a simple, but powerful flood of biomorphic form that will cascade from the ceiling, and converge to form a cavernous opening at ground level, where one visitor at a time will be able to explore the sculpture's isolated interior. Genger says the sculpture, which harkens back to objects fabricated during the feminist and postminimal art movements, will "dwarf not only the people who walk beside it but the entire space." Born in 1979 in New York City, Genger received her BA from Brown University in 2001, and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002. She has exhibited at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, CT, the Queens Museum, NY, Socrates Sculpture Park, NY, and the Haifa Museum of Art, Israel.
