Zilvinas Kempinas, Tube, 2009.  Scuola Grande della Misericordia. 53rd Venice Biennale

Tube is a work that creates a dramatic enclosed walkway over 80 feet long from stretched lengths of videotape. The work is one of the latest in a series employing Kempinas’ signature medium of unspooled magnetic tape, works that have inventively exploited the strength and ultra-lightweight nature of tape to create beguiling and seemingly contradictory physical spectacles that skillfully subvert relationships with architecture, form, and space.

Zilvinas was chosen to represent Lithuania by an independent committee from the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and presented this installation at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a majestic building designed by architect Jacopo Sansovino that dates to the 16th century
