Learning to Love you More, Miranda July

LEARNING TO LOVE YOU MORE was created and started in 2005.
Learning to Love You More is both a web site and series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Check out the blogs and website's please. Participants accept an assignment, complete it by following the simple but specific instructions, send in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and see their work posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments is intended to guide people towards their own experience. Since Learning To Love You More is also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participant's documentation is also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Past presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others. Since LTLYM inception in 2002 over 2000 people have participated in the project. Now the very interesting Oliver Family from Seattle will complete all 63 assignments. Visit their blog to follow the family's progress.Results to be exhibited at Bumbershoot, Seattle, September 1-3 2007.http://learningtoloveyoumore.com/hello/index.php
