Tape

So, Adam and I were talking about the supermarket idea and we decided it would be difficult to convince managers of the supermarket. As I was looking for Artists, I found Agathe de Bailliencourt, (http://www.agathedeb.com/ click installation works and then Yogya '07) a french artist the does installations of painted stripes.. That gave us the idea to make a large tape painting.. A painting made out of draft tape, which comes in all different colors and placing it in the door way of the entrance of a subway. So even though you can see through the painting, you cannot get into the subway or get out of the subway, altering the routine of city life. We have decided to depict a landscape in our tape painting.. We have already tried making samples of images in tape with a utility knife and it has proven successful, as long as you use the right type of tape. We can back the large image on clear plastic sheet to act as a base and then cut out the unnecessary pieces. We were thinking of placing this image on one of the subway entrances closer to city hall because they seem to get more traffic. Maybe the Walnut/Locust stop, the entrance across the street from Terra?

We are still slightly debating if we should abandon the idea of an image and just tape up some of center cities subway entrances in a grid pattern in the middle of the night. And if we should possibly film or document this other then just a journal ??
