…It has often been
observed by the more acute of society’s observers that rarely can art and
sport find a common ground, serving as they do such distinct and particular
audiences. Indeed, apart from synchronised swimming and that funny gymnastic
thingy where they throw balls and hoops in the air and catch them between
their legs and behind their backs, it is most often a case of ne’er the twain
shall meet. And yet, art lovers around the world yesterday hailed the Jude
the Obscure Cricket Club for their daring and innovative free-form kinetic
installation-cum-performance piece, staged at Cuttleslowe
Upper Ground, which had many of the hallmarks of an actual game of cricket.
The approach to Pembroke Cricket Ground is awash with art. A spokesperson for The
Jude said: “We wanted to make a tribute to the new Tate Modern Gallery in
London, and what better way than by using the medium with which we, as
sportsmen, are best identified? No, not drinking. Cricket. As for style, we
took a straw poll before our innings, and although we had a couple of votes
for Abstract Expressionism and Cubism, and quite a few for Onanism, it was
Minimalism that came up trumps in the end, so we decided to bat as minimally
as we could. The dual aim was to score as few runs, and also to make the
innings last for as little time as possible. I think everyone who looks at
the result would agree that we achieved those goals and then some! We’re
hoping to get permission to re-enact the entire innings in the Tate itself,
right down to the minimal number of supporters on the boundary. Want to buy
half a sheep in a tank of formaldehyde?” ‘Blocker’
