Play Game, 1967
GPO-0118
Plexiglas
Ten parts h 26 x Ø 14 cm each, overall dimensions variable
Collection of the artist
The work can be installed in two different ways:
• on a platform that is low (h approx. 15 cm) and relatively wide, with some of the elements closer together at the centre (3-4 elements touching) and others gradually spread out towards the edges;
• on a plinth measuring approximately 90/100 (h) x 80 x 80 cm (the actual size depends on the site of the installation), with the elements closer together, prevalently fitting into each other.
Ten vertical cylindrical plexiglas elements each of which with a slit in the circumference so that they can be fitted into each other, set on a plinth or support plane, thus forming a variable diameter.
In the variant made during the same year and having the same title (GPO-0119), the “playing pieces” are similar but painted with enamel, and require a different installation on the ground.
