Sportification è uno stunt-book, una pubblicazione performativa composta di euro-testi, un archivio vivente di 400 performance artistiche, 250 playground, messi in scena dal 1965 al 1999 in diverse città europee durante la vita del famoso tv game show Jeux Sans Frontières. Gli autori con un approccio ludico-artistico hanno testato molti campi da gioco. Le tre sezioni di indagine, Eurovision, Performativity e Playgrounds, organizzano i contenuti e contributi di una ricerca a lungo termine. Questo epculiare sistema comparativo tra arte e gioco stabilisce una nuova definizione intermedia della performance art europea, dove azioni gioco artistiche, performance e happening interagiscono con il mondo sub-bob televisivo.

The famous television game show ‘Jeux Sans Frontières’ was broadcast in Eurovision between 1965 and 1999, and produced a wealth of materials – images, photographs, ephemera, memorabilia – which were collected by archivist Gianni Magrin, who often participated behind the scenes of the live events.
The idea of a democratic coalition based on sports and games began to take shape within a context of distinct national identities and the spread of television across Europe.
This book offers a comparative study involving the community spirit of a number of countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia, Portugal, and Greece.
