TAPE ART SINCE 2011

BASED IN BERLIN / COLOGNE

Tape That was founded in Berlin in 2011 with the idea of using adhesive tape instead of paint to create artworks on walls. Over time, Tape Art became our main artistic focus, creating projects in clubs, bars, festivals, private homes, and commissioned works.
Today, we are a collective of five artists from Berlin and Cologne who have realized Tape Art projects in more than 40 countries, working on murals, facades, room installations, and traditional artworks. Each member brings a unique style and vision, shaping the diversity of our work.
To connect the international Tape Art scene, we launched the Tape Art Convention in 2016. Its third edition in 2022 brought together 30 artists from 11 countries and welcomed over 10,000 visitors. Since 2017, our Tape Art Academy has offered workshops, giving enthusiasts the chance to explore this unique art form themselves.

WHAT IS TAPE ART?

Tape Art is an art form created with adhesive tape as the primary medium. Although tape has long been used in art as a technical aid, its recognition as an independent artistic medium is closely linked to the rise of the urban art movement. Thanks to its removable and temporary nature, Tape Art can be applied to almost any surface, allowing artists to interact with local surroundings in a unique, flexible way.
Tape Artists use a wide range of materials such as duct tape, masking tape, packaging tape, foils, and paper tapes. These diverse materials have shaped styles ranging from abstract patterns to realistic depictions.
At the Tape That Collective, our work spans from framed artworks and room installations to large murals, sculptures, light installations, and commissioned projects. We also create interior design concepts, stage live Tape Art performances at events, and offer workshops and team-building sessions for companies. To promote Tape Art worldwide, we collaborate with institutions such as the German Foreign Ministry and the Goethe-Institutes, showcasing this art form internationally.

By creating the Tape Art Convention, we have established a platform in Berlin that attracts well-known artists from all over the world to celebrate Tape Art as its own art form.

Each member of TAPE THAT takes their part in the creative outcome of the collective and creates individual artworks in his very own style. Check out our Portfolio, Artworks or Artprints for sale.
