'A short Sketch at a night-time establishment: time passed by a young Lady in the presence of another, with Musical Accompaniment' is part of The Politics in the Room, a public project of the first year of the LUX Associate Artists Programme. It takes the form of eight video episodes, loosely structured around a comment by the American artist Gregg Bordowitz (a guest speaker on the programme) that questioned not what constitutes politics in general but rather what are the politics of the room you are in. Each of the episodes reflects on the experience and content of the programme from the separate yet interlinking perspectives of its eight participants. The videos were released two per week between 16th March 2009 and 12th April 2009. All eight videos now remain on the site thepoliticsintheroom.org
