About me

Introduction	Kempinas began his career working with microfiche and 35mm film, but soon graduated to VHS, seduced by the long spools of reflective, lightweight tape. In 2006, he began using unwound tape to create architectural space. In Parallels (2007), the artist strung thousands of lines of tape across the ceiling of the Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius. He experimented with setting celluloid in motion: In Double O, a piece from 2008 (and shown at MoMA in 2010), two high-powered fans keep two reels of tape airborne in erratic motion. A residency at Atelier Calder produced Tube, a circular walkway of tightly threaded tape that produced eerie optical illusions.
