Experience world art for yourself. The Tape art installation by the Numen/For use group gives you the opportunity to physically touch the art and experience the vastness and spaciousness of the main hall of the Old Market with your own body.
TAPE is a natural continuation of the TUBE project, which we were able to experience in Stara Tržnica in 2021. This impressive spatial installation again works with the monumentality of historical architecture and brings visitors a new perspective, context and experience of the well-known space of Stara Tržnica. The exhibition is realized thanks to the support of our partners - Slovenská sporiteľna, Biela noc Festival, Hlavné mestu Bratislava, BKIS and BSK.
According to Zuzana Pacáková, who is behind the curator of the installation and the White Night festival, TAPE also responds to the unconscious desire for soothing, ethereal zones, and explores the physical and psychological meanings of inner space. It represents a kind of cocoon, a safe place of contemplation where you can withdraw and isolate yourself from the outside world. Visitors have the unique opportunity to enter a fragile and temporary landscape and then explore and travel through a tangle of elastic, slightly pulsating membranes and tunnels suspended in the precariousness of the iconic architecture's vacuum.
The installation resembles a floating transparent architecture, with a reference to the urban utopias of the 1960s and 1970s. Biomorphic skin is a playground for the senses. It offers the possibility of climbing, relaxing and exploring. The elastic membrane reacts to the internal movements of visitors like a living organism, while maintaining its shape and character of a closed bubble. It evokes a transparent web or an icy landscape. However, visitors - observers, who can examine the complexity of the temporary structure as well as the movements of its active guests from below, will also have an interesting view.
The TAPE installation will be open to the public throughout the summer, so don't hesitate to come and see this fascinating art installation in the historic Market Hall. Entry is free and open to all ages. Come and be a part of this unique artistic experience!
