creative tasks

Welcome to the creative tasks blog. In september 2002 Sofie Jansson and I created the Creative Tasks project as a website where we could challenge eachother - and others who wanted to join - with completing different tasks. Each month all participants came up with a task each, and the following month we all posted our work on the site. It was great fun to see the others’ solutions to the tasks and to compare it with your own.

The projects ranged from “write down your dreams and illustrate atleast one of them” to “make a bag”, on to “present a pear in five different ways” and “take a photo of yourself in such a way that your near and dear ones wouldn’t recognize you”. Some of the resulting photos and items you can see at the very top of this blog.

However, the project took a lot of time, and after some months we noticed it was hard to do all the tasks within the time limit of one month. We took a break and tried anew the year after, did a few tasks and then tried once again in 2004.

This time we want to make the project live longer. We are both still very excited about the idea. Using the blog format we think and hope we can make it last, and it will also be easier for others to join.

Check back soon for more details on how the project will work.
