What’s In The Box?

The Box Game is the traveling stage of a larger artwork called ‘What’s in the Box’. Lukas Geronimas and David Horvitz this month are touring with a game of guess-what’s-in-the-black-box throughout the United States and Canada, and guess what? Portland’s on the list. This Saturday, they’re settin’ up the box  from 9:30 AM to noon at the  Pancake Clubhouse (906 NE 24th  …2 blocks north of Sandy) and yes, there will be pancakes. The game is that you get to guess what’s in the box and as they say, “There are no bad or ‘wrong’ guesses.”

From the website:

“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.” Get it? They build what you guess!
So bring it on, imaginative Portland. My imagination could use a little engine grease at the moment, so the consideration of a 3×1x1′ box and its contents will be just the thing. Plus, gifts!

Thanks Stephanie Simek (♥) for the tip!
