While visiting Pam Hunter who was in New York starting her sabbatical a few weeks ago, I was spellbound by the blue tape art works on several of the windows of the apartment she was staying in. They were nothing more than rough-torn, inch-or-so pieces of blue painter’s tape arranged as permeable rounds – clouds, flowers? – through which you could view the distant urban landscape. They were so brilliantly simple and seemingly impromptu, by an unknown artist who changed the view using the most ordinary of materials.

  4. Surely this must have been the work of Tony Feher?
    I work at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and he was recently here installing a gorgeous piece in our central “great hall” space … watching him work inspired me to give it a try at home and indeed the process was eye-opening, the properties of the tape unexpected…
