{"product_id":"oliver-herring-task","title":"Oliver Herring: TASK","description":"TASK documents a burgeoning phenomenon begun in 2002 by artist Oliver Herring. Herring developed TASK as a self-generating, improvisational gathering in which a community engages in a collaborative art-making event. Using cardboard, tape, aluminum foil, pipe cleaners, markers and other materials, participants follow a simple set of rules: write a task for someone to perform, then randomly select a task to perform yourself (e.g. “Use cardboard mailing tubes to make a symphony;” “Form a conga line;” “Create a crime scene” ). The cycle continues, task building upon task, as people share new ways to develop ideas and solve problems. This volume includes a detailed history of TASK by Herring; extensive photo-documentation of TASK parties and events in the U.S., Canada, England, France and Japan; statements by participants; instructions on how to organize a TASK party; and essays by curators\/ organizers Ian Berry, Kendra Paitz and Kristen Hileman.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0945558341\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0945558341.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Herring, Oliver|Paitz, Kendra|Berry, Ian|Hileman, Kristin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43751512145981,"sku":"BVV.0945558341.VG","price":14.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0945558341-0.jpg?v=1790977745","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/oliver-herring-task","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
