BOCHUM ACTIONS
THE HARE. PREPARATION FOR AN EXHIBITION
For Nikolai Panitkov
On the grounds of the museum “Situation Art,” we asked N. Panitkov to color in (with a golden marker) two circles on two tables out of a booklet for the computer game “Dragon’s Breath” (“Palace” Edition) which we had enlarged and formatted in a certain way. After that, Panitkov walked to a square glass plate located in a meadow in the back part of the museum grounds. On this glass plate, on a stand made out of a round tin box decorated with pictures of ducks, stood a big chocolate hare wrapped in gold foil.
In line with the instructions, Panitkov unwrapped the hare, ate as much chocolate as he could, and wrapped the rest in silver foil from the tin box with the ducks. The golden foil however he put into a plexiglass box and tied it with the bow that had been decorating the hare.
(The exhibition “Situation Art in the MANI-Museum” was realized by A.Monastyrski in the MANI-museum near Lobnia in June and July 1992 on the basis of this action’s materials.)
