logo A Table! uses the Spoerri table as an instrument in a series of performances in 2010 and 2011. On other occassions it can be seen and heard on its own, as a sound installation.

logo 'Re: Table. Rezzing Daniel Spoerri's 1961 Carcassonne table' is the accompanying illustrated artist book, with many footnotes. In 2 essays and 1 screenplay Schellinx explains in 'Re: Table' why A Table!'s performances are dual to Spoerri's picture-traps, what became of room number 13 in the Hotel de Carcassonne, and how A Table! went about rezzing the Carcassonne table.
