About Us

┳━┳

A digitally-native publication that features artists from different mediums.

Table serves is an online journal dedicated to underrated artists, that combines dynamic content with compelling critical debate. We see the genres of the interviews and the critical essay as vital but still underutilized ways of exploring the ideas and problems that animate the field of contemporary art, and we hope to push these genres beyond their most familiar forms, whether journalistic or academic. Our aim is to explore the broader implications of a given object of discourse (whether text, film, exhibition, building, project, or hypermedia), to expand the terrain of what we imagine discourse in the arts to be, and to broaden the diversity of voices that our field typically hears from. We are interested in reviews that test and expand the reviewer’s own intellectual commitments—theoretical, artistically, and political—through the work of others.

On the surface, Table is a collection of textual and visual art created by unpublished artists, but if you look deeper, Table is a product of passion and dedication to something we love. Table Quarterly is a group of writers and art geeks who think that writing, along with many art forms, just begs to Table Quarterly is about introducing the creative minds that are shaping the world of the art, a top selection of passionate individuals, vibrant visual narrative and cutting-edge art. Table Quarterly is designed for and with the people who believe in a creative identity, take risks, and enjoy the process: unconventional and hungry.

Collaboration

‍We are always open to hear pitches, so feel free to send them our way. Essays, criticism, poetry, reportage, interviews, and short humor pieces will all be evaluated and considered.

Table Quarterly is written by the community it serves: writers, photographers, illustrators, designers and painters. Do you have art work you'd like to see featured in Table Quarterly? We regularly feature our readers' works of art and rely on your willingness to share your ideas. Please keep in mind that we are absolutely not looking for formulaic "reviews" of any kind. We're far more interested in content that has you interacting, engaging, or wrestling with an artwork and artists in some personal or unique way. Creativity and thinking outside of the box are highly encouraged.

Before you send us your submissions, please read over the submissions guidelines. Thank you.

Contributors

Business Model

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how the business model for Table alignes with the people who not only read Table, but it's mission as well. One thing is evident: We don't have advertising. There are no paywalls. This will never change. With that being said, this labor of love costs money to operate. I chose to focus on utility, accessibilty over walled gardens. I currently only ask for readers to collect our articles to help me maintain and frow the platform. In exchange for your support, I'm offering my undying gratitude. As you collect the articles, I can use the owners as a list of folks to send future cool new shit to. For now, this model means that I am motivated to make the entire platform the first app you open when you wake up. In short, my purpose with Table is to make a platform that springboards artists and sparks conversation around art curation.
