Gap Game aims at confronting methods, points of views and cultures.

While wandering about a district, while roaming the city, students will take notes of their journey and draw a map out of it. They will notice hollow places, spaces, empty places… These might be 5 sqcm, other 50 sqm wide. The students will choose of these « gaps », or maybe a series of gaps which look alike, and they will imagine a play area. It could be a play area for children, or for adults, a playground, in relationship with its surroundings, insitu interaction. Let’s create, let’s install and let’s play!

MINDBOX

Let`s play now. Once the group arrived to the place with a help from posters, Antoine was the first player and Petronille the second one. Petronille directly went to the yellow box and took a blue chalk, closely followed by Antoine; she managed to draw the arrow first and ran to the location of the blue box. Inside she found a shape and Antoine managed to understand that it was similar to the form on the wall, on the other side of the street. They crossed the street and both opened the green box; they had been quite surprised to find red wool, until they figured out the rule. So Antoine took the advantage by connecting the hooks in the right way. The missing word appeared and they realised that they had to ‘Step on the pavements’. Petronille took the opportunity of taking the lead of the race, by jumping from a step to another. They finally found the last box: they used the nearest gap as a target to get the title of the king (or queen!) of the street. [Petronille won 5:2]
