Exhibition

Post Service x TABLEAU: Confessions

CONFESSIONS is an exhibition intended to address the ­silent crisis in men’s mental health (Affleck et al., 2018). Specifically, the ­tension in­­ society around the need to be more inclusive of LGBTQA+ and women’s overall position and wellbeing in contrast to the traditional hierarchical placement of men.

Post Service and multi­disciplinary studio TABLEAU curated 14 male artists to explore the relationship ­between art, ­design, and mental health. Both parties aim to highlight the subject of male mental health in relation to the societal presence of

­toxic masculinity, an ­inherently female ­zeitgeist (Harrington, 2021), and the need for a critical examination of the nature of mental health ­services (Affleck et al., 2018). TABLEAU and Post Service welcome discussion and exploration of ­related ideas that are in­creasingly relevant in contemporary ­society.

Artists

14 male artists engaged with the materiality of their mental health. Simultaneously, they recorded the sounds of their studios throughout the making of their pieces in collaboration with Cédric Elisabeth, for piece-specific tracks. Click the drawing to hear the track.
