What’s in the Box? (Mar 18)

Exhibitions

March 18, 12:00 midnight

The Box Game is the traveling stage of a larger artwork called ‘What’s in the Box’. In the month of March a black box will be taken to various locations throughout the United States and Canada by Lukas Geronimas and David Horvitz. At each location they will set up a game that asks people what they think is in the box.

Setup:
The game is setup quickly anywhere indoors or outdoors; the Box Game Backdrop (6×8 feet) is leaned against a support, and the Box (3x1x1 feet) is placed in front of the Backdrop. A balloting table is placed next to the box. Once setup is complete, the game will begin. You will then be giving instructions as to how to participate.

Rules:
The rules are simple: Using your imagination, write with pen on the official paper ballot what you think is in the box. Then take your ballot and place it in the box. Every decision is a guess that counts as a vote that will elect what will be in the box. There are no bad or ‘wrong’ guesses.

All ballots will be collected, analyzed and statistically interpreted to determine what is in the box. With these results what has been collectively imagined to be in the box will be constructed. All players who provide contact information will receive a gift during the final stage. The final stage of The Box Game will be an exhibition.

Your guess will be part of it. Your vote counts.
