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.
