TAPE ART- The Temporary Vandalism
Invade, transform, pimp! – This is the motto with which we approach exterior and interior spaces. Tape is definitely the best material for the job. It sticks permanently but, if necessary, can be removed without leaving any residue. No matter where, no matter what, no matter when: no wall, no window, no floor or any other surface is safe from our interventions! We are inspired by our years of experience in urban art, contemporary art, architecture, printing, film and music. Our skills include tape art as well as everything created with a spray can. Our “vandalism” can be encountered on the streets, facades and walls, in museums and galleries, as well as in commissioned works. Our “vandalism” can be found on the street, on facades and walls, in museums and galleries, but also in many commissioned works.
What is Tape Art?
Tape art is a form of contemporary art that uses only adhesive tape as a medium to create art. It emerged in the 1960s as an offshoot of the urban art form. Later spread this urban art technique as an alternative to using spray cans. Our crew, the Selfmadecrew, specializes in Tape Art because it allows us to experiment with various techniques and take on new challenges.

One significant advantage of using adhesive tapes is their quick and silent application process – making them suitable for almost all project types: large and small, permanent or temporary. No protective taping or masking surfaces or locations is required.
The adhesive tape is easy to handle and can be applied to surfaces such as stone, asphalt, wood, aluminum, or glass. Indoor installations look just as impressive as outdoor ones. Unlike spray paint, adhesive tapes are easily removable – leaving no residue or stains.
