Honesty Box at Camberwell Arts Festival


On Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June 2009 I will be showing Honesty Box, with Clare Qualmann, as part of Camberwell Arts Festival. Drawing on the tradition of makeshift roadside stalls selling jam or home-made produce, crockery or oddments, the 'Honesty Boxes' will be located in and around Camberwell, London. Each Honesty Box will consist of a cardboard box filled with drawings on Kleenex tissues and a jar for money. The boxes will be labelled 'Drawings for sale £1 each' and left in public places for people to look into, leaf through, buy, steal, destroy or ignore.

Come to Camberwell and see if you can locate the Honesty Boxes – call Gail on 07814 812 338 or Clare on 07782 271 989 for up to date details of their location. Camberwell Green will be the base for our Honesty Box excursions. The boxes will be sited from 10am til 4pm.

You can see pictures of previous Honesty Boxes on the Honesty Box website where we will be documenting the new Camberwell box. For information about previous festivals visit Camberwell Arts Festival website.

Route of the Banner March


Banner March 1

Saturday 23rd May 2009, at 5.30pm
Clockwise

Start at Alexandra Palace, in the Ice Skating Rink car park, walk down the hill past the funfair on the right, turn right along the hedge, take the last entrance into the lake, turn left at the lake and continue walking around the lake, with the water on the right hand side. Circuit the lake until the point just after the second-from-last bench before the café. Place the Banner down here, and tie it to the railings, which are on the left-hand-side perimeter of the lakeside area. Walk away.

Banner March 2
Wednesday 27th May 2009, at 11am
Anti-clockwise

Approach the banner from the opposite direction to when it was deposited, by walking anti-clockwise around the lake, with the café on the right hand side, to the point just before the second bench after the café. Untie the Banner from the railings where it is tied on the right hand side perimeter of the lakeside area. Begin walking around the lake, with the water on the left. Complete one full circuit of the lake and deposit the Banner back where it was.

Banner March 3
Sunday 31st May 2009 (Whit Sunday), at 5pm
Anti-clockwise

Approach the banner from the café side of the lake, as in the second march, and untie it from the railings. Circuit the lake, with the water on the left, and exit at the last exit on the right, before the café. Turn right and continue walking towards the Palace, re-tracing in reverse the beginning phase of the first march, turning left up the hill past the funfair and into the Ice Skating Rink car park, and disperse.
