The International Sculpture Center celebrated International Sculpture Day by throwing a TASK Party!

What’s a TASK Party?!

Here’s how the ISC describes the event:

Created by artist Oliver Herring, TASK is an improvisational event with a simple structure and very few rules. TASK’s open-ended, participatory structure creates almost unlimited opportunities for a group of people to interact with one another and their environment. TASKs’ flow and momentum depend on the tasks written and interpreted by its participants. In theory anything becomes possible. The continuous conception and interpretation of tasks is both chaotic and purpose driven. It is a complex, ever shifting environment of people who connect with one another through what is around them. It is also a platform for people to express and test their own ideas in an environment without failure and success (TASK always is what it is) or any other preconceptions of what can or should be done with an idea or a material. People’s tasks become absorbed into other people’s tasks, objects generated from one task are recycled into someone else’s task without issues of ownership or permanence.

Sounds pretty cool, right? Well the ISC gathered all kinds of reclaimed materials from the re to contribute to the event! Participants were using the TASK structure and prompts to create sculptures from all kinds of supplies.

ALL the pom poms are from The Resource Exchange, as well as much of the fabric, paper, and more!

Looks like International Sculpture Day was pretty fun with the ISC! We’re glad to have been able to reduce the new supplies bought for this event by providing reused materials!
