“HEREKE BOMB” | TAPE TRACING in collaboration with Odabashian’s archives.
This time it was an antique Hereke rug, woven in the city of Hereke (Turkey) more than 100 years ago, that provided the inspiration for an ambitious color study. The contemporary composition celebrates the traditional art of oriental rug making, by bringing back color and life to the front while leaving a glimpse of evidence of its origins.

SUMMER PACKING
“It is the color that leads me on,
the wild color
that sets the coolest woman to sing
at the top of her lungs
laugh like a fool - it drives the
woman to dancing… it even
tempts her to mix out shades
better never mixed”.
Ok… that’s not a real quote, but I think that if Homer’s hero would have been a heroine, this is what she would have packed as she sailed the Aegean to get back home. A suitcase full of Tapebombed goods!
Color for summer, anyone?
“ALTER EGO” | Christian Magaldi Architecture Studio
It’s Cruz de Mayo guey!
Say what?
No building activity today…
Magaldi’s recent migration to one of Miami Downtown’s most beloved buildings (The Huntington Building) had to be celebrated in fresh style. What better way to inject vibrant energy into the space than with a color filled tapebomb installation?
We chose today (May 3rd) for its symbolic meaning in Mexican culture: the Cruz de Mayo holiday. The Fiesta de las Cruces is celebrated in Mexico mainly by guilds and unions involved in construction. A cross is adorned with flowers and paper is placed in a high position on a building in the process of construction. The workers then celebrate with local cuisine and alcoholic beverages such as tequila, mezcal and local beer.
No cross with paper was adorned here, just a promising space with colored tapes.
“DO | UNDO” - Impromptu tapebombing session
Moi: HOLY NUDITY! I MUST tampebomb ze house!
Enabler: (Wheels screeching).
Moi: Do you think..?
Enabler: Allow me, mademoiselle! … Excuse me dreadlocked friend, ici la tapebomber extraordinaire.
Dreadlocked (de)construction guy: chomp, chomp! - (he was having lunch) - Can I see?
Moi: I’ll do whilst you undo.
Moral of this fable: Do unto others as you would have them undo to you.
Ze girl in action avec les tapes pour ze Tape Bombing du Buena Vista Deli à Miami | “COLOR STUDY IN 45”
How patient of them… Them being the usual life-loving hungry customers of the area’s unpretentiously hip meeting place, the Buena Vista Deli. The went with their conversations, daily newspaper readings, IM chatting and more while I repeatedly made the exact same sound with my Tape Bombing gear and got closer and closer to them as I tried to reach every inch of that pistachio colored fence.
Worth it.
Too bad tonight has been pouring like crazy.
A daytime vampire after an intense good ol’ Tapebombing session | “TEMPO”
Street Art installation for GRAMPS Bar in Wynwood.
“D” day, as in Defolding day. Having finished painting all the faces that the geometry of a folded origami envelope allowed me to reach, I took a huge leap and decided to open them all.
As it usually happens to a spoiled kid who gets too many presents in Christmas I indulged in the process of, though not so much in the “toys” themselves. I bolted out of my studio as fast as the Road Runner! It was too much, too fast.
“PROCESS” began as a personal record to document the creative (repeat title) that took the most basic and understated materials (inches and inches of color tape) into an hedonistic, fantasy-futuristic, extravagant, impractical and unnecessary pair of fashion accessories.
This video documentation ended up being a relevant (if not the most) one-third of the triad that conforms “PROCESS | EVIDENCE”, the pieces created for the Wolfsonian Museum’s Visionaries Anniversary Gala, suitably themed The Art of Illumination.
Ten Miami based architects and designers were invited to be part of The Art Illumination challenge. Among this buncha talented heads was mine. Such an honor.
Visitors beware! You stop by my studio, you’ll be requested to improvise in the great white hallway, like world traveler Michael who snaked and shimmied away!
Green over turmoil
Such commotion!
Over what?
Green steps up
Annihilate. Right side panel comes alive
(Come to think, in the middle I still laze, conversation kept alive)
Watch your step, you’ll trip over your own face
Are those strings holding me up?
Or, do you duck behind the color I cast?
The R word and its very blurry lines…
Who is Ines Silva? and, what was I doing at her studio this morning?
