Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Working on-site, all artists include the spatiality in their themes of Camouflage, illusion, mirror house, and night-view corridor. They added brilliant sounds and light to make the event an immersive art milieu. Taking advantage of the easy to adhere, tear and change, tape artists expand the possibilities of tape art to the extreme. With sophisticated orders and skills, the lines and colors of tapes transformed the plain space into a fancy place of great aesthetics and fun. For example, in the Camouflage area, visitors can put on the outfit of the same patterns of the works and completely hide in the work.
- Inspiration
- When working with tape, one of the most important techniques is to work in layers. What do you want the background to look like, which effects do you want to achieve, wich elements do you want to pop out, wich tapes to you want to overlay and what do you put in the foreground? Playing with depth, shapes and the room itself, it builds a perfect scenery to get lost in time and space. Fun fact: It took approximately 7000 cuts to finish this installation.
- Research
- As the name suggests, tape art is art made out of adhesive tape. This up and coming art form has grown rapidly over the last 10 years. The emancipation to a self-sufficient medium is most likely to be found in and also intertwined with the beginning of the urban art movement. Its removable and temporary nature makes it a thankful medium to use on any surface it sticks to, thus making it easy to integrate into urban environments. As there exists a large variety of different adhesive tapes, the approaches to creating art with them are very diverse as well.
- Challenge
- Many tape arts are created outdoors, and weather conditions are a big challenge. When the weather is rainy, the surface of the carrier will be quite wet, and the tape will be difficult to attach at this time. After all, tape art still has its limitations. It's not as free as a brush. Artists need to understand their characteristics. It's a great challenge to find and develop innovative techniques in such characteristics according to the conditions and dimensions of the production field.
- Realization and Technology
- cloth tapes, duct tapes, paper tapes, packaging tales, plastic tapes, and foils.
- Operation and Interaction
- The tape art can be found on facades, in exhibitions, galleries, abandoned buildings, clubs, showrooms, pop-up stores, offices, events or on fair stands. Each of the artworks is unique as the artist is inspired by and incorporates the spatial circumstances. They are fascinated by the idea to create art out of an everyday object that most people take for granted.
