Tabet is a visual artist, known for his sculpture.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] Much of Tabet's work is based on research and mostly aboutsocio-political history, informed by architecture.[ 8]
TheFive Distant Memories series was work from 2006 until 2016, about the transformation of Tabet's early childhood memories in relationship to objects, and situations.[ 9] His first solo exhibition in Italy wasLa Mano De Dios (2016) at theMarino Marini Museum , which included work from hisFive Distant Memories series.[ 9]
In 2019, the exhibitionRayyane Tabet / Alien Property opened at theMetropolitan Museum of Art and displayed the museum'sorthostat reliefs and Tabet's graphite transfers,Orthostates , in tandem with his family heirlooms. The exhibition explores the task of locating and tracing provenance, particularly through reference to the Alien Property Act and the objects purchased at auction by the museum after they had been seized by theOffice of Alien Property Custodian . It conveys the fragmentation and division as Tell Halaf sat at the center of political governance and conflict. It also addresses the role of an encyclopedic museum in conversation and collaboration with the past, and its voices.[ 10]
Tabet was selected to participate in the2022 Whitney Biennial titled "Quiet as It's Kept" curated byAdrienne Edwards and David Breslin.[ 11]
Tabet has been awarded the Emerging Artist Award of theSharjah Biennial (2011); the Jury Prize of theFuture Generation Art Prize (2012); and theAbraaj Group Art Prize (2013).[ 8] His work can be found in public museum collections including at theMetropolitan Museum of Art .[ 12]
