The Savannah College of Art and Design and 3M have collaborated to bring five whimsical and thought-provoking works by installation artist Mark Jenkins to SCAD locations in Savannah and Atlanta through Feb. 14. The figurative pieces, made out of the ubiquitous material Scotch Packaging Tape is a specialty of the artist, who is known for his public works around the world.
Three of the five sculptures “Scotch Off The Roll Sculpture #1-3” will be located in SCAD Atlanta’s Hub, 1600 Peachtree St. in Atlanta. “Scotch Off The Roll Sculpture #4“ will be located at the university-owned and operated Gryphon Tea Room, 337 Bull St., and “Scotch Off The Roll Sculpture #5,” within the Alexander Hall Gallery, 668 Indian St., in Savannah.
While at the sculpture sites, viewers will have the opportunity to “check in” through the location-based mobile platform Foursquare, and, by doing so, assist student scholarship funding. If the sculptures receive 500 check-ins through Feb. 14, the SCAD School of Fine Arts and sculpture department will receive a $10,000 donation on behalf of Scotch Brand.
Additionally, through Feb. 28, 20ll, national participants can compete for a $5,000 cash prize from the Scotch Off the Roll Tape Sculpture Contest, sponsored by 3M; the contest celebrates creators and enthusiasts of packing tape sculpture.
