Megan Cotts: I love you Helen

Klowden Mann is very pleased to present I love you Helen, the gallery's first solo exhibition of works by Los Angeles-based artist Megan Cotts. The exhibition features three-dimensional pieces constructed primarily of fabric and wood, as well as a series of 27 small scale silkscreen prints. Based upon a series of patent drawings for honeycomb paper that originated in Cotts' family in late 19th century Germany, the work in the exhibition approaches issues of labor, intellectual property, and the translation of family history through machinery and artifact into a process that re-embodies that history in the present. In conjunction with the exhibition, the gallery project space will also present a video piece by D3, an artist run service by Megan Cotts, Ali Prosch and Brica Wilcox, dealing in object divestment. The exhibition will run from March 15th through April 19th, with a reception for the artists on Saturday March 15th from six to eight in the evening.

Megan Cotts was born in New York, NY in 1979, and received her MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2009. She has exhibited her solo work in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Giverny, France and Sheffield, England, as well as performances and exhibitions with D3 in Los Angeles and Dallas. Concurrent with the exhibition, Cotts' work can be seen in the inaugural group show of Junior Projects in New York.
