Imagine the following scenario...
How did you meet up?
Well - I was curious to know how somebody selects some items which triggers off a conversation about what they do or who they are ... so I found a small box, put some things in it, then looked up other Society members and found one who lived close by to me - went along to their address, knocked on their door and presented them with my box of time, asked them to take it to an event in a Gallery near Tower Hill - had a chat and a cuppa ... then lo and behold the ver y next day somebody rang my door bell, introduced themselves as an RCA Society member, gave me a box and asked me to take it to an event in a Gallery near Tower...!
there was no getting away from it!
I was a bit worried that my box may not get to the event but was assured by ... well it turned out to be Greg (graduated from College in 1956) - who said he would definitely take it along as he’d sent his “boxed time” via Julia who lived just along the highstreet who told him that Corrie thingy came by from Somerset with her box having passed one on to Peter whatsit who’d moved to ...... Any way I’m going to this Boxed in Time par ty event in London near the Tower - intrigued to hear what ever yone has to say and to see if Greg is a man of his word!!!!
... so where’s your box???
- Gather together or make a few items that you think may trigger a conversation about what you do ... or what you would like to talk about.
- Put them in a “box” that is no bigger than a ‘chair seat’.
- Locate another member of the RCA Society or someone who was at the College (you don’t have to know the person) and
- Take your ‘box’ to them.
- Ask them to deliver your box to an event at AND EventSpace -
September... (Date tba)
Take any box that may have been delivered to you for the same reason to the same event... If you can’t find anyone who will take your box or if no one has delivered a box to you - don’t worr y - Just get a box together and bring it yourself to the event.
...so how big is a chair seat?
Contents of the Time Box should be ‘disposable’ - that is you don’t mind letting go of them. The Time Box should be limited to no bigger than a chair seat size - as the collection of boxes will be displayed on a chair seat or space similar.
All the TimeBoxes will be opened at a documented ‘par ty’ event in September (Date tba) and the EventSpace will turn into a crazy “Tower of Babble” where, after enjoying a multitude of conversations with new found or old mates, a collective decision on what to do with the ‘timeboxes’ will be made - archived, buried, swapped, dumped or become the building blocks of another event...
