| Tape
Art is a stable of public artists that focuses on promoting the
use of tape as an art form. The works can range from miniature to
giant, intricate to bold, simple to mind blowing. The international
movement continues to grow, being led by communities such as Tape Art –
a group that has been practicing, applying and promoting its art trade
for 25 years. A giant “tape art” mural is currently underway in Buffalo. Based out of Providence, RI, Tape Art is continually out on the road, visiting communities in search of walls where the temporary art form is best suited. ... Kristen Carbone (Executive Director of Tape Art), who originally hails from Buffalo ... told me that the work being done at the site is not exactly planned in advance, rather it is a freeform exercise that is location and weather dependent ... the work is intended to create a temporary infusion of invigoration to places that might not otherwise be readily noticed or frequented (in some cases). - Queenseyes, Buffalo
