At theTable.

More than 60 artists each reinterpret a playing card in their own language. Together they make one deck: a collective artwork you can hold, play and keep.

Art, community & charity

Of the profits go to Sheffield Children's Hospital.

AT THE TABLE connects artists, the public and the local community through contemporary art, and shows how creativity and collaboration can make something that matters beyond the artwork itself.

The project

Not just a deck of cards.

Every card carries an original artwork made for AT THE TABLE. Different styles, cultures and ways of working, all sharing one table.

150

Packs in total

Only 150 packs will be made: 100 available only at the exhibition and 50 Limited Edition packs available online. 13 of the 150 packs contain a 1,000 lire note.

Hidden in 13 of the 150 packs

Italian 1,000 lire banknote featuring Maria Montessori

1000 Lire.

When I was little, my mother would often leave me with my grandparents. It was my grandfather who taught me how to play cards.

He was a straightforward man, not one to give much away. But sometimes, when he saw me getting sad because I could never win, he would quietly let me win and give me 1,000 lire as a little reward. That small gesture stayed with me.

So, as a tribute to those memories, I have hidden a 1,000 lire note in 13 randomly selected packs out of the 150 made: a small piece of my childhood, my grandfather, and those games we shared.

I'm sure he would not like the deck, but he would be proud.

Exhibition
