Paper & Tape


We are in the process of creating paper and tape installations in the bays of the Western basement. We are working with the themes Science and Time. The class was split into two groups using a series of random dada-style tests. Here are some shots of the works in progress. We looked at the work of Stephen Hendee for inspiration. His installation Superthrive at Rice University is one example of how he combines installation and drawing. We also took a look at Thomas Hirschorn's Cavemanman which has been created in a number of different venues. This work is more sculptural installation, but still fascinating to consider in light of our project. The Drawing Center in New York City also has several examples of drawing that jumps off the wall.


Check out all our Paper & Tape WIP pics here.

Tonight we will be considering Claes Oldenberg's I am for an art... and the group will offer up their own statements in response.

We are also going to check out the Drawing Machine ideas in progress. Should be a good night!
