- Language English
- Price HK$70 (material included)
In collaboration with Hong Kong Arts Centre
In conjunction with her exhibition "Inside Configurations" shown at the Goethe-Gallery and the Black Box Studio, Cornelia Erdmann will hold a workshop on tape art on May 12, 2018 (Sat) from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Goethe-Gallery and on the 3rd floor of the Hong Kong Arts Centre. Conducted in English. Fee: HK$70 (including material). Registration required: Alice.Ho@goethe.de .
Method:
The participants together with the artist will create an in-situ artwork for the Hong Kong Arts Centre using masking tape. Developed from urban art in the 1960s, tape art has become a popular alternative art form for the street art scene, since it is versatile and can be relatively easily installed on various surfaces like graffiti. Unlike spray paint, the artwork can be removed without much complication. Focusing on the eye of the staircase, the visuals will be built up by a pattern of triangles fabricating a mesh-like design. The workshop participants can be split up in smaller groups and each group starts from another point. The work/s of art meet in the centre.
Concept:
The Hong Kong Arts Centre designed by Tao Ho is an architectural icon based on a triangular composition. The proposed artwork is in response to Ho’s design language of connecting triangles as well as to the site’s spatial and functional particulars. In regular intervals queues of waiting people are built up in front of the lifts; people wait in the lobby for the start of the next programme. The idea is that the artwork creates a narrative for the audience to discover while being in the premises. During the artwork’s development it acts and reacts to the audience and grows in a rhizomatic structure; it’s design is uid and engaging. The lines of tape form nodes, internodes and converge with the site, its objects and audience – a permanent action and reaction to and with the public realm. Meanwhile the graphics evolve and depict, trace as well as capture the events, the narratives, that unfold over time.
