(Reconstruction of) THE POLISH GAME. Le Jeu Polonais, Das Polnische Spiel
Bernhard Sachs
The Polish Game is an idea whose time will never come, or whose time has always passed. It has a number of expressions. The project at Ocular Lab is one of them. It will be spread over a five week period, most of that time spent on the production of drawings in the space. These drawings may or may not be "finished". They will exist as remains of a procedure. To these will be added the remains of a dinner featuring as its centre-piece Cassoulet Alexandrin de Rizkalla, (or, following the regime of austerity that inevitably clings to economic crisis, the inevitable accompaniment to extreme, or obscene, affluence) Cassoulet Misere, or even Cassoulet Desolate. There is always someone who misses out on the economic miracle. This element of The Polish Game, a collaboration with Alex Rizkalla, will continue Rizkalla1s history of food projects at Ocular Lab. The final "exhibition" of the "finished" project will be for four hours only, on Sunday, August 8, 2004, from 1-5 pm. The production of the project can be viewed on preceding Sundays between 2-4 pm. from July 18.
