Title: Renee Gertler: Flood
Dates: May 11 - June 15, 2007
Location: The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery (Grove St.), 155 Grove Street, SF, CA
Renee Gertler presented a site-specific installation at the SFAC Gallery Window Installation Site at 155 Grove St. Gertler is a 2007 MFA graduate from California College of the Arts and over the course of five weeks her sculptural exhibition, Flood, continuously transformed and was on view during its metamorphosis. For the previous two years Gertler used model-making materials and techniques to create fantastical versions of natural phenomena such as waterfalls, tornadoes and meteors. For her installation at the SFAC Gallery Window Installation Site she created a simulacrum of a leak that, over the course of the show, resulted in a flood.
