At the Table: Points of Contact

An artist-designed dinner and exhibition exploring connection, creative exchange, and the rituals of gathering

November 18, 2026 | Binx, West Village, New York.

under the pale blue presents At the Table: Points of Contact, the inaugural edition of an ongoing series of artist-designed dinners and exhibitions exploring the intersections of art, food, and community. Bringing together twelve women artists, Points of Contact considers connection through shared rituals, creative exchange, and collective experience.

What happens when we come together at the table?

Inspired by Judy Chicago's landmark installation The Dinner Party, which honors women's histories, achievements, and often-overlooked contributions, the exhibition draws upon the idea of the table as a space for women to share their stories and express their individual visions. Rather than simply reimagining dinnerware, At the Table celebrates the distinct perspectives each artist brings to a shared experience, and the possibilities that emerge when women come together to create, exchange ideas, and inspire one another.

Central to At the Table is the intention to build community through creating. Throughout the development of the exhibition, the participating artists have come together through gatherings, studio visits, and shared working sessions, creating opportunities to exchange ideas, discover one another's practices, and form new relationships. These experiences have become an integral part of the exhibition itself, extending its theme of connection beyond the objects on display and into the process of making them.

Six artists translate their visual languages onto hand-thrown ceramic plates and bowls made by Betty's Ceramics Club. Each artist creates four plates and two bowls, working with shared forms that provide a cohesive foundation while allowing individual styles and perspectives to emerge. Designed to be mixed and matched, the resulting combinations become points of contact themselves, bringing different artistic practices into conversation.

Six additional artists contribute one-of-a-kind sculptural objects, including vessels, cups, butter dishes, and champagne holders. Moving between function, ornament, and sculpture, these works offer distinct interpretations of the objects and rituals associated with gathering. Together, the two groups expand the possibilities of the dining table, transforming familiar objects into expressions of individuality, creativity, and shared experience.

The exhibition culminates in an intimate dinner at Binx, an artist-designed restaurant and gathering space created by participating artist Rebecca N. Johnson. By bringing contemporary art beyond the traditional gallery setting, At the Table seeks to break down barriers between artists, their work, and the audience. Through the unhurried ritual of a shared meal, guests are invited to sit with the artworks, hear the stories behind them, and engage directly with the artists, creating space for deeper conversations and meaningful connections.

The connections extend beyond the audience, as a portion of proceeds benefits City Harvest, New York City's first and largest food rescue organization, which collects surplus food and redistributes it to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. This partnership carries the spirit of gathering beyond the table and into the broader community.

At the Table considers an exhibition not only as a presentation of objects, but as an opportunity to create meaningful connections between artists, their work, and the communities that gather around them.
