• Megan_Wilson abstract "Megan Wilson is an American visual artist based in San Francisco. Known for her large-scale installations and public projects, she incorporates a broad range of pop culture methodologies and aesthetics to address conceptual interests that include “home,” "homelessness," social and economic justice, challenges to capitalism, impermanence and generosity. Notable projects include: “Better Homes and Gardens”, a public project included in San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 75 Years of Looking Forward, that featured 250 signs hand-painted by the artist with the word “Home” and a flower given for free to the homeless and those facing eviction in San Francisco during the dotcom boom. Clarion Alley Mural Project: Wilson is one of the primary organizers of the mural project, including initiating and co-organizing the international exchange “Sama-sama/Together.” “Flower Interruption”, a four-part public installation series through which Wilson filled traffic intersections in San Francisco, Tokyo, Yogyakarta and Ubud Indonesia with giant “Technicolor flowers” that passersby were invited to take for free. “Sama-sama/Together,” the first international mural exchange between artists in the United States (San Francisco) and Yogyakarta Indonesia. Wilson initiated and co-organized the project with Apotik Komik of Indonesia and Intersection for the Arts. The project was the catalyst for the mural and graffiti movement in Yogyakarta. The SF Bay Guardian awarded the project “The Best Transnational Art Undertaking” in 2004. Wilson’s use of textiles and quilling to create large-scale non-traditional mural installations. She is one of the first artists to use quilling as a contemporary art form outside of its historical use as a decorative craft on paper or household objects. “Home 1996-2008” was in part inspired by artist David Ireland (artist). From 2004-2008 Wilson transformed her home into an installation that she opened up to the public in 2008.Wilson is a core organizer of the Clarion Alley Mural Project; 2012 marks the projects' 20th anniversary.Wilson is the founder of the artists' collaborative "Capitalism Is Over! If Your Want It," a collective of artists from around the world who have created artistic actions in response to the impact of capitalism on the global economy.Wilson has been one of the core organizers active in the response to San Francisco's economic and technology booms 1999 - present. In 2000, she co-organized the project "Art Strikes Back," an 8-week series of performances along the Valencia corridor in San Francisco's Mission District. In 2014 she called out University of Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism's project "Mission Loc@l" for disrespecting the wishes of artists involved with the Clarion Alley Mural Project by selecting an image of the Alley for their contest to decorate the highly contested "tech buses" that use the city's public bus stops. The winning artist, Elinor Diamond, ultimately withdrew the image and submitted a new one. Wilson and artists Christopher Statton, and Mike Reger created the mural "Wall of Shame & Solutions" on the Clarion Alley to call out San Francisco's city government officials on current policies that are impacting the city's changing character. Wilson grew up in Montana. She received her BFA from the University of Oregon and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Intersection for the Arts, and Southern Exposure.
