Here at Tilteed, we're intrigued by all things tee. Naturally, then, we were excited to see a recent art exhibit that was centered around T-shirts. Over 800 of them, to be exact.
The exhibit took place in Honolulu, Hawaii for three days this May, from the 27th through the 29th of the month. The public outdoor art display featured over 800 off-white T-shirts hung from a series of metal rods in the middle of Honolulu's Kakaako Makai Gateway Park. The tees each represented artwork in the form of original designs from Japan and the U.S. And according to Aloha Art Week, the exhibit was the second of its kind; the first took place in Kuroshio-cho, Kochi prefecture in Japan.
As is often the case with art, there are a few details of the exhibit that aren't crystal clear. Like, for example, why the tees were displayed by way of hanging, so that they continually fluttered in the wind. Doesn't that make the designs on their fronts harder to see? And if so, is a certain obscurity part of "the point?"
We invite you to reflect on the purpose of this unique T-shirt exhibit and let us know what you think about it in the comments section below!
