TBL (TallBlondLadies) is a collaborative performance project between Anna Berndtson (Germany) and Irina Runge (Sweden), which started in 2003.

“TBL inverts female stereotypes through the composition of absurd and unexpected performative gestures, often incorporating a range of accoutrement from high-end fashion to sports gear. Their works present diametrically opposed concepts; beauty and grace are juxtaposed and diminished through brute action and athleticism, tacitly disrupting and challenging gender-based categorizations.” ~Artists Space, New York, 2007
