If we could eat anything, what would you bring to the table? One might think of a table as a shared space, a place to come together, to ingest, discuss, to plan and look at one another in the face. A table might also come with embedded behaviors, manners, rituals, ways and expectancies. On January 9th 2026, Club VHDG opens a new exhibition at H47. In EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE, the table becomes a landscape where things meet and mix: news, artworks, hands, notes, crumbs, cables, candles, bills, and voices. Presence and absence keep changing seats as we look at how we share space with each other – and with everything that moves, breathes, grows, crawls, or is built around us.
The project began with the question: What does it mean to take space while trying to make space for others? Could making space also mean taking space?
One exhibition, two chapters
This shifting, spatial exhibition unfolds in two chapters. In an estafette-like handover, artists pass the exhibition to one another, letting it change, disappear, and reappear. Always under, around, and on top of the table. The table becomes a landscape, a stage, a body in motion. One group begins, another continues, carrying traces and leftovers forward. The exhibition changes shape yet keeps evolving and “the table” is the landscape where the work unfolds and evolves. So come, sit at the table and let’s talk about it.
12 artists
VHDG holds space for experiments, and we as club VHDG are testing what collaboration can look like, how to hold space for each other, how to make art that grows out of relation. The 12 artist holding and creating space in this exhibition are: Lila Veloo, Graciela Maria Gonzalez, Sofia Murillo Lommers, Juste Marija Yauku, Samantha Pellarini, Jiddy Kammenga, Hana Zarekarasadi, Jurre Huitema, Fleur Stoltenborgh, Carolien Tiedema, Christina Everts, and Evelyne Korfage.
