>> No Curves
„We call ourselves No Curves because we believe in angles and straight lines.We dont use curves.“
|
>>> Please tell us
about yourself ... No Curves is a bunch of hands trying to work together. Profession? Career? Can only say that we love futurism, euclidean geometry, pixel, old graphics from videogames & toys of the 80s, time travel and Roy Batty. We grew up looking proudly at the beauty of mother nature and her perfect, immoveable stones.
>>> What’s your
style ... Basically we realize our artworks with adhesive tapes. We work on every type of surface where the tape could stick.We call ourselves No Curves because we believe in angles and straight lines. We dont use curves.The adhesive tape is the perfect tool for us. Cut and paste. Geometric drawing action!We take distance from art in general, we love more cold architecture and minimal design. All is very precise, stylized. Sometimes alien ... inhuman ... like us.
>>> Tapeart is ... Clean. Simple. Linear. >>> Do you feel streetart is being exploited as new pop culture ?Partly we think this is the only way for many artists to survive. Now that many companies and brands have (re)discovered street art, or sub-cultures in general, the new "pop-culture" has provided a channel for it to reach business (real life).For us that's fair enough. Our stuff get more visibility through business, and it's an easier platform for us to approach the world and vice versa.Art is no more just the decoration, framed and hung on wall, but it is emerging everywhere in our lives. The point is: Could we call that art anymore? >>> Your favourite project ...Oh, we loved Protopixel, an event dedicated to the pixel graphics and classic games of the 80s-90s, realized with the collaboration of VJ Visualoop.It was a live performance, mixing tapes-made- characters with projected visuals ... The colors, the blending effects of the pixelized images with adhesive tapes, the soundtrack ... everything seems so perfect and clean, it was totally stimulating ! Collaborations between artists is one of the best way to enrich our works. >>> So everybody gets your message ?Our work does not require any certain level of ability to understand. It should be understood in the way you interpreted. We shall give freedom for others. We are glad that they'd have their own imaginations. >>> Which aspect of your work is overlooked ?Pratically how hard is working with tapes. For many people, tapes seem to be fairly easy to create lines and forms. However, the truth is we exhaust our energy through the process. Especially when you are working on a big image. The finishing has to be precise for the required effect, time is essential to refine every single line. But we love how people think this is easy, just let them take it this way. For us, it's funny ! >>> What are you up to next ?Few festivals around Italy, some cool commercial works for Christmas and we are planning a trip to the polar Antarctic Circle to discorver some geometric secrets hidden in the eternal ice. >>> Last remarks ?"Keep it simple". Its a good way for everything.Thanks to urbantactcis for the interview !
>>> Well, thank you No
