Overview

A Place at the Table was developed by Alice Kettle, with Victoria Brown for Pallant House Gallery. The project challenged categorisations of craft, with Kettle as curator and artist. A Place at the Table presented craft as social, functional, relational, performative and for its material character.  The project had multiple strands including the staging a meal for curators and artists around which craft and its relationship to the contemporary was debated. Following the meal a series of craft interventions were placed throughout the Queen Anne townhouse. 

 

Artists participating in the event and subsequent exhibition included, Barnaby Carder, David Clarke, Fabrizio Cocchiarella, Kate Egan, Di Hockin, Guy Holder, Jasleen Kaur, Paul Scott, Matt Smith, Sam Sweet and Anne White.
