For the first group exhibition at Huiskamer, Lot Doms and Bram Van Houtte brought together in their house a rhapsody of chairs and tables formed by different artists and designers. Tine Colen participated with a marbled and veneered table, executed and designed in collaboration with Jan Van Goethem and Joke De Becker for a scenography of Vormfrakken by Kristof Van Gestel in Design Museum Ghent.

About

After her training in the medium of painting, Tine Colen (1985) felt the need not to simply represent or imitate the world, but to be in the midst of things. Gradually, the following elements became characteristic of her work: The blurring of boundaries between art and functional objects by creating items that carry meaning and can sometimes be used / working with natural materials in a cyclical process, often defined by their temporary, seasonal nature, as well as human-made materials considered waste / seeking specific knowledge about plant usage through the study of ethnobotany and anthropology / a slow and labor-intensive making process, rooted in collective creation / generating value through the way objects are used, gifted, and passed on / using public space as a workshop, where the physical work sparks conversation, encounters, and change.
