Big Table Athens

Big Table was born in December 2022 and has since evolved into a multiform, collective, artist-run space. Most of the time it functions as a studio, a shared work space, crowded with tables of various sizes (rather big) supporting a mix of practices. Sometimes the tables are crammed in a corner. Once free, its 200m2 baby blue floor turns into an event space for live performances, screenings, exhibitions, dinners or parties. True to its name, Big Table merges time and space. It fosters collaboration, supports ideas and desires, and —like any table—invites others in, creating circularity and a sense of community

We are looking for people that are open minded,

creative, with sense of collectivity, desire to

connect, create, and imagine more for the space.

Big table is a place who needs care, attention, small

interventions here and there, commitment!

In exchange it offers a good vibe, nice place to

work, read, focus, bright environement, plants,

space for action, kitchen, fridge, shelves and

sooooo much more.

Fee for events

We are happy to host Supper Clubs, workshops,

knowledge-transfer classes, and so on…

You have an idea, a desire,

and need a space to realise it?

Get in touch, let’s talk about it!

Workshop description

“Flip the table” is a collective writing workshop led by Christina Reinhardt that flips the idea of the individual writing table into a common table of citational practices, collective memory making, and community politics around textual form. What if the privacy and isolation of the writer is undermined, and the writing table becomes a site of multiple references, collective textual archaeology and interactive association over a wide range of references? “Flip the table” will be a writing jam, an ecosystem of thinking and writing with others escaping the supposed individuality of the writer. A plural repository of singular inputs that loses track of intellectual property and belonging. The group will work with a variety of quotes stemming from diverse sources around the object “table” and work on a collective text as a common writing ground.
