TAPE
Are you brave enough to crawl inside a suspended cocoon made entirely of sticky tape?
For over a decade, artists and designers Numen / For Use have been in demand across the world creating installations in iconic locations, exploring cocoon-like structures based on self-forming, emergent construction processes, similar to those taking place in the natural world. Finally, it’s Sydney’s turn. For FODI these artists and designers will be joined by engineers to construct TAPE, a monumental interactive sculptural form that starts with just one piece of sticky tape. Stretching over the historic pillars of Carriageworks, they will be joined by a team of local collaborators to build tirelessly for ten days and nights to create TAPE. Take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embark, explore, and go within for your own bit of FODI sanctuary.
Places are strictly limited. Book your FREE session now to avoid disappointment.
TAPE is exclusively in Sydney at FODI.
After FODI, the sculpture’s carcass will be utilised by local artists to continue its life story. Want more information? Join us on site at the Festival to find out.
Numen / For Use [AUSTRIA/CROATIA]
Numen / For Use is a collective working in the fields of conceptual art, scenography, industrial and spatial design. The group first formed in 1998, as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković under the banner For Use. In 1999, they established Numen as a collective identity covering all projects actualised outside the sphere of industrial design. Since 2008, the collective turned its focus towards configuring objects and concepts without a predefined function, an activity resulting in the more hybrid and experimental works such as the N-Light series and Tape Installation. Parallel to these publicly exposed ventures, the group has won several international awards for their accomplishments in the field of industrial and set design.
