BLÆS X TABLEAU

EXHIBITED IN TABLEAU, SEPTEMBER 2021

BLÆS + TABLEAU IS A COLLABORATION THAT HAS BEEN BURNING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. THE MEETING POINT BETWEEN THE TWO IS A MATTER OF CONTRAST: HANDCRAFTED GLASS FRIABILITY ALONG MANUFACTURED STEEL. BLÆS BRINGS THE TRADITION OF GLASSBLOWING INTO CONTEMPORARY GLASS OBJECTS, A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS FOR THE MATERIAL TO HAVE ITS OWN LIFE IN THE MAKING OF ORGANICALLY SHAPED VASES.

IN THE COLLABORATION WITH TABLEAU, THE LUNGS-POWERED OBJECTS OF BLÆS EMBRACES THE SHARP CUTS OF THE INDUSTRIAL ELEMENT SPECIFIC TO TABLEAU’S IDENTITY, RESULTING INTO A DURABILITY QUEST. IN THEIR PRACTICE, TABLEAU CONSTRUCTS UNEXPECTED SETTINGS OF OPPOSITE MATERIALS AND SPACES. THE METALIC, RECOGNISABLE H/I BEAM PROFILE IS BEING TAKEN FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE INTO A FLORAL CONTEXT OF THE ALTAR, NOT TO PURPOSEFULLY SHOCK BUT TO REIMAGINE ALREADY KNOWN OBJECTS AND SURROUNDINGS. THE ALTUS VASE AIMS TO SHOW THAT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DISPARITY CAN CREATE A NEW KIND OF BALANCE. THE END RESULT OF THE COLLABORATION IS DUE TO AN EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WHILST MAKING USE OF AND AT THE SAME TIME CHALLENGING INDUSTRIALIZED PRODUCTION.
