Tension_Flow_Fury, a Tape Art project by Fiorakis Manolis and ASK.

Manolis Fiorakis, one of the artists, says: ResidenceSEA is not just the space, where this batch takes place. It is also the lab, where the ingredients of this process are purified. Tape art is not just the medium. It’s the law that compels the whole process. About the project: The project Tension-Flow-Fury consists
of 3 separate yet undivided aspects, united as one concept:

• Tension (force): A more personal and self-analytical part of the project. A static unknown and raw force of continuous pressure that stretches within but at the same time blows off into the outer world and space itself.
• Flow (process): An effort to convert the force of Tension to a stream of acts and works. From a raw and harsh state to a more active and rounded form that spreads across space.
• Fury (result): A manic and sharp but concentrated outcome of the previous processes. A feeling of intense and chronic anger.

• Manolis Fiorakis (aka oot) was born in Heraklion, Crete in 1983. In Athens he studied Civil Engineering and Interior Design, and he now works as an Interior Designer in his recently founded architectural studio in Heraklion. About a year ago, he started experimenting with tape art and has stuck ever since. Designs on canvas, murals and freestyle street art are his thing, but he is always searching for different ways to use tape as a medium. His current project is called “out of tape”.
