American sculptor Mark Jenkins, known to us for its extraordinary, which not only make passers-by smile and wonder, but also serve as a kind of landmark for city guests, has entered the "path of creativity" with a new project unusual sculptures. They look like they're made of glass... But they're actually duct tape and cling film. And just like other street installations, they captivate with their suddenness and surprise.
Transparent creatures, often depicting people, but sometimes also animals or otherworldly inhabitants, Mark Jenkins "paints" from models. Models are most often volunteers who are willing to donate several hours of their lives to art, or toys or pre-prepared models, which are first carefully wrapped in cling film, then wrapped with tape, and when the "pupa" is ready, the cocoon is cut into many pieces, which are then glued together, and the result is what we see in the photographs.
But the most curious thing is not at all the presence of such sculptures on the streets of those cities that Mark Jenkins had a chance to visit. It remains a mystery how he manages to hoist his transparent little men so high and so firmly, and whether the local authorities are persecuting him for such pranks, as the authors of graffiti and other "rock" paintings were persecuted in their time. For those who are not familiar with the works of the author - his
Mark Jenkins ( Mark Jenkins) is a very famous American street artist. Famous for its shocking figures and sculptures. Most of the figures that truly frighten and surprise passers-by are made up of scotch tape and transparent film. Seeing such installations, you involuntarily think that some person has become ill or something irreparable has happened.
Besides the fact that its appearing in different places cities, including Moscow, famous galleries, exhibitions and museums gladly accept his works.
Born in 1970 in Fairfax, Virginia, USA. The first street exhibitions were held in Rio de Janeiro in 2003. Initially, he created figures of people dressed in clothes and gave them various unusual poses. Everything that happened after this - the behavior of passers-by - he documented on camera. One of the most famous of these installations is a male figure with a head stuck in a wall. Then there were duct tape babies, lollipops in parking lots, various manipulations with road signs, etc.
The technology for making figures is quite simple. If you need to create a hand, then Mark Jenkins wraps adhesive tape around his hand, then carefully cuts it off, glues the cut, and you get a kind of mask that exactly repeats the contours of a real hand.
The author believes that his work helps people get out of everyday reality. Work, home, eternal problems, and suddenly in the middle of the road a man covered with newspapers or legs from a garbage can. A moment of confusion allows you to get out of your shell and find yourself in a world full of adventure and interesting things.
People react to such creativity in different ways. Some do not consider him an artist at all and everything he does is called real hooliganism, while others see it as something deeper, which makes you think and fantasize.

Scotch tape sculptures should appear on the streets of Moscow in the near future. What exactly? No one knows yet, because world street art star Mark Jenkins is creating them right now together with participants in his master classes taking place on the territory of the Winzavod. "Private Correspondent" attended the first lesson and shares his impressions.
We are hollow people
worthless people,
Crowd of straw
filled with mummies. Alas!
The Hollow Men (T.S. Eliot. The Hollow Men)
Per. Andrey Shapovalov
Five people entered the snow-white hall. Everyone has a dummy knife and a couple of rolls of cling film with them. This is what was needed for the job. Real American scotch is issued on the spot.
I also took with me, as recommended on the site, a band-aid, a bandage and cotton wool. The Winzavod blog, where the pre-registration of participants took place, did not reveal the process of creating figures from adhesive tape, but warned that it was easy to get hurt. The scratched wrist of my left hand is clear evidence that they did not lie.
Mark Jenkins is a great guy! This is immediately visible. There is something touching and endearing about it. In Russian, he knows only a few words necessary for every self-respecting foreigner. But the desire to communicate with the participants of the master class does not decrease from this, because a person really enjoys what he does.
We agreed that we did not need the services of an interpreter. It was clear to everyone what to do. Yes and English language The brand is understandable to any student.
Mark Jenkins (b. 1970, Fairfax, Virginia) - American artist, known throughout the world for its outdoor installations, which are created from packaging tape. His work has been featured in Time Out: New York, The Washington Post, The Independent. One of the world's most popular street art blogs, the Wooster Collective, made a special review of Mark Jenkins' work. In addition to street art interventions, the artist's work is regularly presented in galleries in the US, Europe, Brazil and the UK. Jenkins' projects have inspired other people to create scotch culture everywhere. The artist actively promotes the new technology of art on tapesculpture.org and teaches the process of creating ephemeral sculptures during workshops in the cities he visits.
It was necessary to make strips of adhesive tape, which would later turn into a sculpture. Lots of tape strips. Too many.
For the first half hour, Mark told me how to do them correctly. Six hours later, when we had glued all the plastic chairs in the hall, I skillfully sculpted strip after strip, but the first twenty pieces were difficult.
So let's make stripes. We pull out as much tape as possible, holding the coil between the legs - the tape should be stretched with the smooth side towards you. On the adhesive side of the tape we put all the fingers of the left hand, except for the thumb. We count 15 centimeters from the edge and make an incision on the tape with right side, tear off the strip. Now we apply the strip (together with glued fingers) with the smooth side to the sticky side of the main tape and again make an incision, tear it off. We repeat again. Thus, we should get a three-layer sticky strip.
The hardest part is learning how to glue them without bubbles. Let the stripes be oblique, as long as they are smooth. This procedure is needed to "compact" the building material.
The final sculpture is obtained from at least 3-4 layers of stripes, that is, 9-12 layers of adhesive tape. It is quite strong (a little softer plastic bottle) to stand outside.
Now you need some kind of plastic chair, table, or any surface that you don't mind sticking the strips to. When it's time to prepare the sculpture, you will need to tear off the strips one by one, and not frantically glue new ones. Therefore, large surfaces are needed.
In general, the process of making building materials for sculptures can drag you out for a very long time if you want to erect a monument to someone from scotch tape.
So at the first master class of Mark Jenkins, they started small - hand models. To do this, you do not need to glue too many strips, but you will have to 20-30 pieces. Some of them should be cut lengthwise - made thin to glue fingers, for example.
We wrap a layer of cling film on the hand (ours or someone else's) to protect the skin from adhesive tape. Later, the frame will have to be removed, and epilation with tape is not the most pleasant thing that can be.
When all the skin is closed (1 layer is enough), we begin to glue the hand with prepared strips. We must imagine that we are applying plaster. We glue the strips at an angle so that they form crosses when crossing. Gently glue the entire surface so that there are no holes left. Particular attention should be paid to the space between the fingers.
Do not squeeze the hand in the forearm with tape too much, because you will have to cut it with scissors, and you can get hurt here. We cut in a zigzag, pushing the scissors forward. Mark used special medical scissors. I strongly advise you to purchase the same ones, because it would be scary to poke around near the veins with the usual ones. When the model is cut, we release the hand, pull out the cling film (this is quite easy) so that the model is transparent, and seal the cut with strips. Now you can safely give your hand on demand!
It is necessary to put the model more comfortably and constantly ask if everything is fine with her. Mark says it's extremely important. We wrap the film from top to bottom, that is, first the thigh, then the caviar, then the foot. We pay attention to all joints and protruding bones. The leg should not end up as some kind of straight pillar. No, this, of course, can also be a leg, but we were lucky with the model.
We glue it with adhesive tape in the same way - from top to bottom. We put the strips crosswise. The strips can be glued together, making them either longer or wider.
When we reach the foot, we move on to small stripes so as not to miss anything. When the entire leg is covered with tape, take scissors and cut from the outside of the thigh down to the knee. Then we move to the inside so that we can cut to the foot next to the bone and not damage anything. We take out the film, then glue the slot.
Restaurant business and the art of writing scripts, HTML and promotion of Internet sites ... What unites these areas professional activity?.. The fact that their basics today can be mastered without leaving the virtual space, under the guidance of experienced professionals, and even completely free of charge. To do this, it is enough to create an account in LiveJournal and subscribe to the corresponding master class.
Much more interesting is the case with the head. The model, as you can understand, ideally should be bald. Well, we had a short-haired young man working as a model.
Working with the head is an extremely responsible process. And it's not even that you can inadvertently cut off an ear or a tuft of hair when we remove the adhesive tape. And the fact that there are many different veins and arteries on the neck, and even men often have a prominent Adam's apple. Therefore, the neck is glued last.
When Mark showed how to make a “cast” from the head, the guy was asked: “Isn’t it scary?”, He courageously said: “No!”. I think being a "head model" is rather unpleasant, because it's hot, the ears are smoothed, the eyes are covered with a film.
We leave a slot for breathing through the mouth of the model and begin to wrap the head with cling film. From top to bottom, without smoothing out the deepening of the eyes, without making the nose wider. For the head, thin pieces of adhesive tape are mainly used.
By the way, when we glue the eyes, you need to press lightly, otherwise the face will lose its usual features. Large pieces go to the back of the head, small pieces to the face. The layout is cut from two sides, first one cut behind the ear somewhere to the middle of the skull, then in front of the ear. We repeat the manipulation on the other side. We pull off the mask from the model. The mouth must then be sealed.
In general, this technique makes it possible to create almost any shape and object. Instead of a living person, you can always use a mannequin, with a lack of your own forms, you can put newspapers under your clothes and “draw” biceps or a mythical fifth breast size.
You can paste over the toys or first create a layout, and then make it transparent. In order for the sculpture to be stronger (let's say you want to dress it), you can “stuff” it with newspapers. Items made in this way can be a great home decor or a gift.
At Mark's first master class, we stopped at the most interesting. We had a volunteer ready to donate their body for making a sculpture, but everyone was so engrossed in sketching the ideas of the sculpture that there was no time left for implementation.
So if you want to be wrapped in cling film and taped, you want to create your own sculptural composition, which will be put on the streets of Moscow, hurry to Winzavod until October 19. Pay attention to pre-registration! Have with you: two rolls of cling film, a mock-up knife and something tight, otherwise you can be stripped naked or left in pantyhose alone in a burst of creativity.
