Take a Load Off.
On April 17th I moved picnic tables from a local pub into Reduta Theater, one of Brno's oldest dating from the Renaissance which had been renovated to include modern architectural elements. I prepared a buffet for the opening of our studio's exhibition of performance art at the theater consisting of food and drinks bought at a Levny Potraviny (Cheap Food) shop. All of the items were beyond their Best Before date. Among the items were pretzel sticks, mozzarella cheese, cookies, pear juice and a camembert type cheese with green peppercorns. I also cooked 5kg of wheat kernel which was offered to the audience. I
brought a bottle of organic ketchup, and rice syrup as well as three jars of pickled organic vegetables from last year that were leftover in my vegetable shop. These were the only items left on the tables at the end of the opening. I brought the leftover wheat kernel to a cafe where it was put on the daily menu as risotto the following day. On April 13th, I arranged to have our weekly studio meeting at the theater. I took all the leftover food and drinks I had in my cupboards, pantry and refrigerator including a marcipan Carp leftover from Christmas which I intended to use as a decoration for a cake I was going to bake but never found the time to.
