A Dialogue Between Art and Architecture: Active Modernism
The paintings and drawings within Sally Tape's exhibition were a juxtaposition of structures and patterns, a formal reduction, the product of condensed reference to the urban world. As with the installation and sculptural work, the structures and patterns within their paintings and drawings deliver a concept based on time, space, movement and the human body. Each work only reaching its full potential with the presence of the body in the gallery space. The audience unwittingly a participant in the work as it simulates daily activities of screen culture, architecture and movement. Flicking through, walking, in, past, around and within architecture.

AIR Tilburg
In their first international residency, the Australian artist Sally Tape reflected on the physical space of traveling and architecture. Continuing their research into the links between architecture, minimalism and movement, a central theme within their artistic practice. Tape's primary focus examines how this three-way relationship redefines the idea of contemporary modernism and the non-objective image, making their work less about form and shape, and more about movement and the physical experience of space.

The Fountainhead
The Fountainhead, unveiled a new body of paintings and drawings for the artist Sally Tape. Images within the exhibition were shaped from daily dialogues with architecture that echos the rhythm of reductive pattern; tracing the fluid movement of transversing urban space. The works speak less to fixed form and more to the fluid reconfiguration of space where structure becomes sensation, and stillness gives way to flow.

BETWIX
Complementing the graphic language of the film posters, this exhibition delves into the imaginative zone between film and books to explore how carefully chosen text and visual imagery work together to communicate concepts, stories and atmospheres. Featuring the unfolding storyboards of hand crafted concertina artists’ books, together with sketch books, comic books and installations, the works each employ tropes of film and literature text, titles, typography, montage, narrative and framing to sit in playful dialogue with the poetic visual games of the film posters.
