Water GunCarlo Galli / Italien 1981
"Værket, som blev til i Køge, forbinder sig til emnet 'Vand er en menneskeret'. Vandpistolen repræsenterer systemet og den verdensorden, som stadig udelukker mange mennesker over hele jorden fra adgang til rent vand, en nødvendighed og en rettighed for os alle.
I Køge ønskede jeg at destruere denne mekanisme og derfor påførte jeg også værket en midlertidig skade, en forvrængende effekt - på midten af vandpistolen".

The Patron Gods of Sustainable WonderlandJuliana Žamoit / Litauen
(De beskyttende guder i det bæredygtige eventyrland).
"Børn og unge ønsker at blive store så hurtigt som muligt, og voksne glemmer at tage det langsomt og huske eventyrernes skønhed, som kan hjælpe dem til at glemme deres travle voksenliv.
Du kan se mange symboler i malerierne. Det er en blanding af forskellige elementer, der symboliserer jorden, verdenen under vandet, himlen, kosmos, solsystemet, dyr og mennesker, sort og hvid, by og natur.
Vi har brug bæredygtighed for at fortsætte og opretholde balancen. En retfærdig måde at eksistere på sammen er meget vigtig for at overleve på denne eller enhver anden planet.
Vi skal passe på vores indre barn. Det er en vej til mere glæde. Den gyldne regel er ikke at blive voksen for hurtigt, fordi eventyrlandets skønhed er, hvad vi alle behøver og fortjener.
Arbejdet begynder med skitser udført med grafit og så maling med akrylfarver. For at udføre detaljer er der brugt pensler og penne med forskellige børster, afskæringer og bredder".

Rosa Parks, Nina Simone & Ruby BridgesEnni Vuong / Østrig 1997
"Mit vægmaleri omhandler kampen for lighed mellem racer og for kampen for at give kvinder styrke. Jeg valgte at male tre ikoniske ledere for at mindes deres fokus og deres aktivisme.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005) er kendt for modigt at nægte at videregive sit bussæde til en hvid person på et tidspunkt, da raceadskillelse var lovlig. Hendes vitale rolle i denne bevægelse var med til at sætte fokus på den dårlige behandling af den farvede del af befolkningen og igangsatte den nationale kamp for at få afsluttet raceadskillesen i det offentlige rum.
Nina Simone (1933-2003) var sanger, sangskriver, musiker, arrangør og borgerretsforkæmper. Som 17-årig blev hun optaget på Juilliard School of Music i New York City. Hun brugte sin musik til at udfordre race-diskrimination.
Ruby Bridges (1954-) var det første afroamerikanske barn, der begyndte på en helt hvid folkeskole I de amerikanske sydstater. Denne helt enkle handling at gå på en sådan skole markerede begyndelsen på integrationen i offentlige skoler i USA".

"Af og til bør vi træde tilbage fra vores handlinger og overveje, hvad de gør ved os og ved andre. Derfor har jeg valgt gennemsigtigt spejltape. Du kan både se dig selv blive genspejlet samtidig med, at du kan se igennem og møde andres meninger og opfattelser".

ACTIVISTALamia Michna / Tyskland 1987
"Mit kunstværk er en hyldest til unge kvindelige aktivister.
Hun står symbolsk for den nye generation, der hæver deres stemmer, skriger deres raseri ud og kæmper for en bedre fremtid.
Det er meget inspirerende for mig at se, hvor passionerede og stærke, de unge er.
Særligt de unge piger, som vil blive den næste generation af kvinder. Jeg håber, at de vil forme en fornyende kultur, hvor maskuline og kvindelige energier samarbejder og heler fortidens sår. Jeg har en vision om denne fremtid og stræber efter at fremstille den i mit kunstværk".

(Abestreger).
"Der er flere og flere skovbrande hvert år og vi mennesker ødelægger det globale miljø.
Ofrene for denne ødelæggende handling er mange af verdens dyr, som mister deres levesteder. Dyr kan ikke tale for sig selv, så jeg har ønsket at give en af dem en stemme.
Man kan se skyggerne fra en nedbrændt skov i baggrunden og i for-grunden er en mandril. Han ser ud til at være bange, vred og desperat".

ONE PLANET – ALL COLORSRobert König / Tyskland 1977
(En planet – alle farver).
"Stilen / virkemidlerne er mønstre og typografi – bogstaver og ord i billedet.
Farverne på værket er også et symbol på LGBTQ ..., som viser hen til ordene: mangfoldighed, tolerance og samfundssind. Tankerne bag eller betydningen af værket er:
– En erklæring mod racisme
– For mangfoldighed, tolerance og sammenhold
– Vi bor alle på den samme planet, hvilket gør os alle lige
– Farven på vores hud betyder ingenting".

(Tidernes ballet).
"To kvinder danser gennem tiden.
Kvinden i den røde kjole viser fortiden. Man kan genkende den gamle bil og industribygningerne, som repræsenterer den aktuelle bygnings historie
Kvinden i den blå kjole repræsenterer fremtiden med et sikkert miljø og
en cykel. Det er en vision for, hvordan fremtiden burde blive, men vi må stadig arbejde hårdt for at nå dette mål.
De to kvinder danser rundt om Spar Nords logo, som er i nutiden".

"Så mange udfordringer venter, og man må passere dem en efter en. Men en dag vil du have opnået, hvad du ønskede.

A god in the heavens, A sage on earthRubab Paracha / Pakistan 1985
(En gud i himlen, en saga på jorden).
"Mit arbejde er baseret på en ældgammel historie om, hvordan universet blev skabt.
Ulig den almindelige opfattelse forklarer denne historie, at det tog universet 10.000 år med små bitte forandringer at komme til live og at skabe liv. De tunge elementer blev til Jorden og de lettere elementer blev himlen.
Det er min overbevisning, at den ansvarlige skaber af universet var en kvinde, som håndterede skabelsen med tålmodighed, kærlighed og stor opmærksomhed på alle detaljer".

Tape Art is a work of art created from adhesive tapes, such as duct tape (which differs from gaffer tape in the way that the adhesive is stronger) or wrapping tape. In addition, plastic foils are used as you know it from sign and car decoration.
It is a relatively new art form that took its current form around 2008-9 in Berlin. It origins in urban arts such as graffiti, stencils and the like.
Unlike graffiti, tape art is most often done with permission as the setup is often a relatively complicated and time consuming process.
The works of art are made on different surfaces; walls, floors and windows. On glass and plastic, transparent materials can be used and indoors tape attached between wall and floor can be shaped into three-dimensional sculptures.
TAPE OVER is an international group of artists established in Berlin in 2011. The roots are in Berlin's subculture, where the members made tape art as decoration at the city's vibrant techno clubs which served as a creative playground.
The group's tape art style includes elements of street art as well as urban art and is characterized by both versatility and fine details. In addition, the art reflects what inspires the members the most - organic shapes, abstract figures, simple design and strong visual expressions.
The artists in TAPE OVER work internationally and have created tape art works all over the world in that way creating the very expression of the young art by constantly moving boundaries and form.
