| 2011 TAPE MELBOURNE PROJECT Hero Shot |
Like a giant spider weaving a web or a silk worm at work, the tendons of this two-metre high structure made entirely of packing tape extends over Fed Square.
Created by revolutionary Viennese/Croatian design mavens Numen/For Use, Tape Melbourne is a temporary work made entirely of regular packing tape, a self extinguishing tape and multiple layers of the transparent adhesive.
This is the first work of Numen/For Use to be shown in the Southern Hemisphere. Similar iterations of the installation have been shown in Europe to critical success including Vienna Design Week (2009), centre stage at DMY 2010 Berlin's International Design Festival where the work was one of three awarded projects, Mikser Design Expo Belgrade (2010) as well prominent German gallery, Schirn Kunsthalle.
