"膠帶畫廊"
一次界定藝術的觀念藝術,是詮釋藝術權力的擴張和藝術邊界更銳利化的宣示,它沒有展品也沒有舞台,但是,它給予您自己去說什麼或哪裡才是舞台;還是什麼是或什麼不是藝術,這權力透過這膠帶魔力化而達到。膠帶畫廊的觀念來自藝術系統內什麼為藝術的認定反問;原本畫廊是民間畫作的主要產地,如今透過這產地意象給予概念擴張。膠帶這東西則意味著兩種以上可能不同處境的關係連結;不同處境間似乎可以沒有通航,但是,透過膠帶的咬接,它們就被化約在同一個平台,在同一個框架內或同一個標籤下,於是,兩種情境階級,一下子馬上相互等於...
膠帶畫廊實際運作起來,會觸及3個面向~1是空間允許 2是執行作業 3是情境認證。所以,膠帶畫廊公司先是找到願意提供空間或願意幫忙執行的支持者,最後再透過早已通過藝術認證的文件.影像等紀錄手法呈現。比較不同的是這膠帶畫廊計畫是透過網際網路提供一個自由陳列的空間。(*"膠帶畫廊"此藝術計畫發想於瑞典藝術家Lars Novang   *照片人物為"Made In Taiwan"這本漫畫書的法國漫畫家Golo先生,與漫畫人物一樣搞笑,拍攝時他突然將自己兩眼用兩個台啤瓶蓋遮掩...文/Leoliu)

The Tape Gallery : (A bit long....) 
Welcome to the Tape Gallery, an Interactive Art Project
The Tape Gallery is dedicated to its users and contributors. We are 
proud to offer a free exhibition space on the internet as well as 
providing a basic tool for establishing new art spaces, which costs 
close to nothing and takes a minimum of effort to use. The concept 
consists of 1) this web page, which serves as an exhibition space for 
all contributions made to the Tape Gallery, and 2) Your 
contributions, which we hope will map out exciting and vital art 
spaces in new and unexpected places, near and far.

The contemporary art world can be described as a self-legitimizing 
system, with the power to define, validate, and maintain the cultural 
quality of art, while enjoying the consent of the entire society in 
doing so. The Tape Gallery is now offering You that very same 
privilege! You are invited to chose any place or situation which you 
may find interesting or relevant to set up any given number of Tape 
Gallery art spaces. These places/situations/works of art will 
constitute the art world of Tape.

How to contribute
It's very easy to join the project. You can order the necessary Tape 
packing tape from the gallery by sending an e-mail to tape(at)
tapegallery.org. The tape is free to borrow, as long as you support 
the project by using it only for establishing art spaces, creating 
situations, framing works of art, etc. Of course we also appreciate 
that you photograph or videotape your actions/works and upload the 
material on tapegallery.org We are very much looking forward to your 
contribution - Please enjoy!

Background
The Tape Gallery Interactive Art Project is initiated by Lars 
Noväng, as part of his project Limited Art Spaces. This and 
other projects constitutes the practice of octava gallery & Art Lab.

Limited Art Spaces is a free investigation of the gallery/exhibition 
hall as space and idea. What constitutes a place where art meets 
audience? What signifies our conceptions of art spaces, and how can 
we change our views and expectations? The format of the traditional 
gallery appears increasingly outdated, in the light of new needs for 
active dialogue between the contemporary artist and his/her audience. 
For this reason, we have embarked on this investigation on how a 
gallery might contribute in new and constructive ways to this artist-
audience communication. At the moment we are trying out different 
ideas within the framework of the project Limited Art Spaces.
