In the courtyard of Fabbrica del Vapore, site-specific installations transform the table into a field of inquiry: food as a social act, nourishment as an affective gesture, conviviality in the age of disconnection. Reclaimed materials — steel, bamboo, fabrics, plastic — become surfaces to pause around, to look at, to gather. "Tavole d'Arte" is the collective exhibition with which the Association Arte da mangiare mangiare Arte celebrates thirty years of research, bringing to Milano Art Week 2026 an urgent question: what does it still mean to share a table, today?
The exhibition is enriched by a series of performances that animate the exhibition at specific times throughout the week.
