I ran around the MOMA Color Exhibit last week with this lovely lady and one of my favorite bits was this installation of colored electrical tape by Jim Lambie on the ground floor. I’ve always secretly hoarded colored electrical tape (and I made my mother ask the dry cleaner for the colored tags they used to code clothes too). Yes, I have a thing for color. So, I really liked to see art from electrical tape. I think this would be beautiful in a small entry way, or mud room.
See a review of entire exhibit here by Phil Patton on the AIGA website.

I love this image…you have inspired me to run up to SF MOMA as soon as I can. Thank you for sharing!
I am definitely going to have to check this out with my handy yearly membership.
I am putting together the New York insert for the Design for Mankind September issue. I was wondering if you would want to be apart of it.
Thanks!
This is amazing. And to think anyone could do something like this with electrical tape. So beautiful! Word of caution to anyone thinking about it though…I’ve used electrical tape on my wall before, and it totally ruined my paint. The tape’s got some sort of residue to it.
yay, it was fun! would be great for an entry room. xo joanna
