Born out of a desire for collaboration with a friend, Boundary Object is a free monthly daytime music event on a Sunday. In keeping with Bristol's long running tradition of underground music events, it exists to provide an opportunity for some of the key protagonists of the scene to play a selection of personal favourites in good company at a decent pub. Starting in 2010, we run it for four years, the first Sunday of the month, totaling 44 events. The Bell pub in Stokes Croft (then in its heyday) forms the ever-reliable and low-key backdrop to a heavy roster of guests, most of the time sit-down-DJing on an old church pew. We make use of Bristol’s healthy events schedule to invite guests, both local and those who might already be in town for gigs, providing a place for them to catch up with mates and peers, and to decompress from the night before. Subsequent guests are often invited for the next month whilst in attendance at the event; the best way to demonstrate what to expect. There is the occasional ‘special’ event or birthday celebration. We are proud of the unexpected and fruitful pairings and collaborations which emerge and how the event takes on a life of its own. As hosts we gradually disappear into the background as the event becomes the social space we intended it to be, providing something meaningful and needed to some of the most sought-after guests in the UK underground dance music scene at the time. We print one poster to display in the venue. I want to make something that stands out from other event posters around the city, but it also needs to be practical. As we often only finalise the events at short notice, a dynamic template design means we can get the information out quickly, while developing and projecting a unique visual style that is coherent as a set, and stands out in a wall of other posters. A circle (representing the venn diagram concept of the ‘boundary object’ name, but also condensation rings on a pub table) is flexed according to the length of the event information. This provides enough difference from one event to the next whilst the repetition builds up a unified series.
