YOU CAN BE ANYTHING

EXHIBITED AT COLLECTIBLE 2023 IN BRUSSELS

TABLEAU PRESENTED A COLLECTION OF FUNCTIONAL ART AND DESIGN PIECES WITH A NARRATIVE RELATED TO INCLUSIVENESS AND BEING OPEN-MINDED AT COLLECTIBLE 2023.

FOR THE SHOW TABLEAU WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THERE ARE STILL MANY PLACES AROUND THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT ACCEPTED FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE. THIS LED TO THE IDEA OF CREATING A LIVING ROOM INSPIRED BY A “MODERN TAKE ON BARBIE”, SINCE THE COMPANY OF BARBIE HAS GONE THROUGH A REVOLUTION THE PAST DECADE. BARBIE HAS BECOME MORE INCLUSIVE REGARDING THE DOLLS BODY SHAPE, GENDER ROLES, SEXUALITY, ETHNICITY AND MUCH MORE, WHICH TABLEAU WANTED TO EMBRACE THAT.

FOR THE SHOW TABLEAU INVITED A SERIES OF ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS TO TAKE PART IN THE SHOW BY EITHER CREATING A SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL PIECE OR FIND A PIECE OF THERE-OWN WHICH FOR THEM SYMBOLIZED SOMETHING AROUND IDENTITY AND/OR THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING ALLOWED TO SHOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

ALL PIECES ARE FOR SALE – PLEASE CONTACT INFO@TABLEAU-CPH.COM FOR MORE INFO.
