[Table for 100's], commissioned by Konya 2023, Fukuoka, will recreate a series of dining scenarios that take place in public spaces and how those vary amongst different cultures and peoples' ages. Through a bind between certain Portuguese dining traditions (spatially, socially and gastronomically) with those of the Japanese culture (cross referencing historical connections and the contemporary Japanese society; age, gender and social background) a very long [Table for 100's] will emerge.
The table will register the differences in heights when dining, the way food is served or cooked, the way people eat (in a social shared event or on one's own), how people seat (or stand), how cross conversations are generated, how children and adults have a different presence when sitting at a table, how people interact or how they might be protective of their own space and time when dining. All those registries will lead to a collective design of a long object, a public dinning table that, at certain points, might touch the ground, whilst at others might become less like an object, and more like an imaginary space.
Luísa Alpalhão (b.1984, Lisbon) is a Lisbon and London based architect & installation artist and founding member of the design & art collective urban nomads. Her work focuses on creating informal, playful, colourful and participative projects that vary in scale, representation methods and format. Linked by the way they investigate and analyse misused urban spaces so that through the process of reclaiming those derelict urban niches new socio-cultural links can be established between local people of all ages and backgrounds. These projects help developing new methods and techniques to engage the public/users in the design and construction of the public realm in a participative way so that social boundaries and boundaries between private and public spaces will fade.
