Addressing the tendency towards self-doubt among creatives, TAKEOUT held a modern-day coronation to create self-confidence among fellow artists. Inspired by the popular terms “King of Pop” and “Queen B”, TAKEOUT used royalty as an expression of excellence and invited guests to crown themselves the kings and queens of how far they have come in their careers. Prior to the event, guests received a box with the elements to create their own crown, which served as their ticket to the event. Throughout the event 5 artists showcased their interpretation of a coronation in spoken word, short films, music, and performance art.
To counteract the tactile deprivation brought to us by our constant contact with screens, TAKEOUT created the world’s first Slime playground for all ages. The goal was to encourage people to leave their phones in their pockets and engage fully in the oddly satisfying experience of slime.
During Art Basel Miami TAKEOUT created the only art show you could only see when you could not see. Partnering with the National Federation of the Blind to create a multi-sensory experience led by blind performers who invited guests to a genuine interaction between the sighted and the blind.
Everything from “too small” to “too perky” has been used to describe women’s breasts. For the Miami Design District’s annual Fashion Fights Cancer benefit, TAKEOUT created a hallway of breast-shaped light elements leading to the evening’s silent auction. Every part of the installation showed different kinds of breasts, including a replica of the host who had lost one of her breasts to cancer. The hallway illuminated a sign with the Dr. Seuss quote “You Are In Pretty Good Shape For The Shape You’re In”.
