| One Legged Table metaphorically and literally brings communities to the table. Thirteen household tables have been cut and assembled together to make a single 14 feet long by 6 feet wide table. |
| Only a single leg supports the individual tables so that each relies on the other tables for support. The tables came from many different households and each has its own history; many were made in different countries. |

| The table becomes a setting for bringing people from all different communities and groups together to eat and to discuss common issues around global warming. |
| Four such dinners were sponsored at the table during the course of the show by different local groups: The Food Project, Public Conversations Project, Trinity Church, and Boston Artist Dinner, concurrent with Indonesian Artists Dinner in Jakarta. |
