table was a temporary artist-run project space organized by Kyle Bellucci Johanson in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago that ran from the fall of 2018 to the summer of 2022. table hosted artists for solo shows accompanied by long-form discursive meals with invited guests of the artist’s choosing. This process privileged the artist’s practice by producing necessary and sufficient conditions to situate their work and host discourse on their own terms.
These discursive meals cultivated primary content for texts in a critical publication documenting each artist’s project. This pluralistic document is a critical response to the historicization of artistic practice, offering a counterpoint to institutional/individual authorship and the system of knowledge production.
table was a project space, a gallery, and a dining room in a rented apartment built in 1920. table was not a 501(c)(3) organization or a commercial gallery. It was temporary and reproduced by those who found it useful and necessary. table was an experiment in becoming; inhabiting thresholds between so-called discrete categories of subject and object, public and private, individual and collective, to situate practices and facilitate critical discourse, building community outside of institution or market.
