Read the following story by Melalin Mahavongtrakul from the Bangkok Post. Then, answer the questions that follow.
At first glance, Dutch artist Max Zorn seems to be just another tourist, casually exploring the streets of downtown Bangkok. But once he puts on his cap and sunglasses, a roll of brown packing tape around his left wrist and a scalpel grasped firmly in his right hand, he is ready to create an intriguing form of art.
Tape art is a branch of street art that takes after graffiti culture. It can be traced back to the United States in the late 1980s. Since then, it has gradually spread around the globe, with each artist developing their own style.
Max’s art involves meticulously sticking pieces of brown tape onto acrylic glass, then cutting them with a scalpel. The glass must be lit from behind for the art to be seen, an idea which came from his interest in the way cities looked at night.
“Your focus goes on different things and I think lights are one of the things you see. They’re like little theatre stages,” Max said. Max’s first piece of art was created on a street lamp, a spot nobody really expects to see art.
“It was a coincidence,” he said. “I was walking around in Amsterdam, and they have beautiful old street lamps that looked like a natural gallery to me.”
Max never attended art school. His art is created through trial and error. His style is cinematic and spectacular. He prefers a community approach to art, which was why he founded Stick Together, a project committed to spreading street art around the globe. He gives out handmade stickers for free on the condition that they are placed in public places and streets.
