Tape Art Live with Felix Rodewaldt and Fabifa40 Hours of Gasteig

For Felix Rodewaldt, born 1988 in Munich, the space itself becomes a work of art. By engaging with walls and other surfaces, he develops new forms and dimensions from existing architectural structures. Whether it’s tape art or mural painting, he regards the architecture and interiors of the 21st century as his very own personal canvas. His art has taken him all over the world: from Germany France, Spain and Greece to Odesa, New York, Tokyo and Chennai. Rodewaldt’s art-in-architecture creations consist of murals that are largely made of nothing more than adhesive tape and/or wall paint. They take their cue from the contours of a given architectural object, distorting its geometric structure and suggesting new spatial dimensions.

Felix Rodewaldt’s non-profit association for the promotion of urban art, Verein zur Förderung urbaner Kunst, was founded in 2018 with the aim of strengthening cultural diversity in Munich and creating creative spaces for artists outside the established institutions. The association does this by organising exhibitions and charitable initiatives by and in collaboration with local, regional and international artists.

Valeryia Losikava, born in 1987 and known as Fabifa, is a Berlin-based artist who specialises mainly in tape art. Employing a distinctive visual language characterised by bold lines and vibrant colours, her work explores themes such as self-expression, identity and political freedom. Born and raised in Minsk, Belarus, she initially studied architecture and later worked as a safety engineer before dedicating her attention to art. In 2015, she moved to Berlin, where she found a new sense of creative and personal freedom.
