Today we played the exquisite co**se drawing game with 444 middle school students. 6th grade made the legs, 7th grade made the torsos, and 8th grade made the heads. If anyone expresses any interest in wanting to see more - we will share a mess of their amazing drawings in a story tomorrow. **se #444

It's got mall stuff! It's got Tape Art stuff! It's gonna be a blast. Hope you can make it. (P.S. There is no scheduled Providence showing... it WILL happen eventually... but it could be months or in the Fall or something. Who knows!)

SXSW — Incredible to see some of our favorite Tape Art experiences make it to the big screen as part of this documentary. Michael and Colin, Jeremy Workman the film maker, Jesse Eisenberg the executive producer, and family.

Today Michael is at SXSW to see the premier of the documentary Secret Mall Apartment. It’s an awesome story of how him and his Tape Art collaborators at the time built a condo in Providence Place Mall — AND the other ambitious art projects this crew took on. It’s awesome to hear so many voices from Providence weigh in on a story that continues to capture the imagination over 20 years later.

When you use Tape Art to manifest an ice cream angel. Worth a try.

A world full of walls...
The Tape Art movement originated in Providence, Rhode Island in 1989 in the form of large-scale, collaborative drawings created in public spaces. We continue to pioneer and evolve this medium and over the last 30 years have produced over 500 public works and thousands of smaller drawings in locations around the globe.
Half our life is making big art outside and the other half is teaching collaborative tape drawings in every setting imaginable, from schools and hospitals, to community centers, correctional facilities, psych wards, and corporate leadership classrooms. We have yet to find a scenario in which Tape Art cannot play a positive role.
In the upcoming year our ambition is to begin the exciting journey of developing a non-profit based on sharing our community art practice with others in a way that can bring the joy of Tape Art to communities across the county. Stay tuned!
