Friends in the U of M MFA program are hosting an installment of San Francisco artist Oliver Herring’s TASK Party project.

TASK Partygoers are asked to design one task and complete one task over the course of the night. And that’s as structured as it gets. The night unfolds according to the creativity and whims of the people who show up.

Past TASK parties have asked participants to build cardboard race cars, confess secrets to one another, and form impromptu bands. There are almost 70 people signed up to participate. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

TASK PARTY! It’s a party. Where you do tasks. But not just any tasks, eachother’s tasks. There are two basic rules for participants:

1) Write down a task on a piece of paper and add it to a designated “TASK pool.”
2) Pull a task from that pool and interpret it any which way you want, using whatever materials are available. When a task is completed, a write a new task, pull a new task, and so on.
