About

Tape Projects (TAPR) is an affinity of artists with a curiosity for exploration, collaboration and learning. TAPR members work individually, in combination, or as a whole to facilitate contemporary and experimental practices both inside and outside the gallery. Working with artists and organisations both nationally and internationally, TAPR also provides a collaborative support structure for those who share our ethic. Recent explorations include adventures to mars, blindfolded bus trips, tours in tunnels, oracle consulting, toasty eating ceremonies, snuggy wearing pilgrimages, micro civilization building, futuristic portrait creation, data collection, portal construction, ritualistic aerobics, group-dreaming, and pseudo-scientific game playing.
