Tape That

Tape That is an artist collective based in Berlin and Cologne, Germany. TAPE THAT was founded in 2011 with a simple yet innovative idea: to utilize adhesive materials instead of traditional paint for creating artworks on walls. As our artistic vision evolved, tape emerged as one of our primary mediums. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects like tape, we began creating art in clubs, bars, festivals, and private homes. Eventually, commissioned artworks became an integral part of our portfolio. Today, we are a collective of five artists who have undertaken projects in over 40 countries, utilizing almost every conceivable surface. Our projects range from traditional artworks to expansive room installations, murals, and facades. Each artist contributes their unique style, approach, and vision to our collective work. In 2016, we implemented the idea of connecting and showcasing the global tape art scene to a wider audience, leading to the inaugural Tape Art Convention. The third Tape Art Convention in 2022 hosted over 30 artists from 11 countries and attracted more than 10,000 visitors. Additionally, the Tape Art Academy, established in 2017, regularly conducts workshops, allowing art enthusiasts to experiment with this distinctive art form themselves
