Things change over time and it is likely that their uses begin to lessen and their meanings fade.
However, everything has its use and meaning in one form or another since old things
can be given a new possibility and “raison d’être” withproper attention and artistic intervention.
Therefore, there is no useless thing in the world.
In the artistic process of changing a thing that is deemed useless into something useful, a new possibility presents itself.
Artworks by TBRD, consisting of several artists working in various fields under the direction of art director Cheeho Zeong are polished
products extracted from that process. Especially they pay attention to things of the past and turn them into whole new ones in the light of the
present fashion while suggesting future possibilities.
An item turns into a masterpiece when it has its own story and leaves its mark on history.
No doubt creating something brand new is good, but if existing ones are endowed with a new meaning
and a novelty value through diverse art projects,
it is even better and isn’t that the right function of art?
Here in this website you will see various products by the hands of this group of promising artists,
which are amazing transformations to become artworks coming with its own story.
The site will serve as a platform for introducing more of such “UTMOST masterpieces”.
Ultimately, TBRD aims for art that can be practically used in our real life,
artworks combining beauty with functionality and products
which bring art into everyday life to enrich our lives.
