Run out of patience with the World Cup? Visit the Pavilion on day of final

On July 11, when, as we all know, England bury the opposition in the World Cup final, Japanese artist Tomoko Takahashi is hosting a sit-in version of the card-game patience in the De La Warr Pavilion.

Curator David Rhodes, who described the event as a possible avenue for quiet protest, appealed to all those seeking alternative entertainment on the big day to join in.

Tomoko, who was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2000, is about to open her first retrospective, which also includes new work, in the Pavilion. Running until September, she takes over both galleries as well as space on the first-floor terrace beyond the restaurant.

On cup final day, voluntary instructors will be on hand from 10am to help refresh those rusty on the rules, and to hand out rulebooks designed and illustrated by Tomoko with an artist friend Ella Gibbs.

The collaborative Hours of Patience, presented at Tate in 2000, offers a prize - a certificate of endurance, perhaps - to the person who plays uninterrupted cards for the longest time.

The Pavilion have also promised free tea for participants - and, in theory, as long as people's patience is exhausted by the time the building closes at 6pm, you could be home in time for the 7.30pm kick-off.
