Learning to love you more

Learning to Love You More is a website and project dreamed up by performing/social/visual artists Miranda July (film Me and You and Everyone We Know, book Noone Belongs Here More Than You) and Harrell Fletcher. The idea is that the artists propose an assignment (take a picture of your parents kissing, draw a scene from a film that made you cry, list important events in your life in 1984, take a photo of strangers holding hands, make a good-bye list, etc.), and the public sends in their responses to the assignments. It's interesting to peruse the works of everyday people, people you might walk by on the street. I like to imagine that one of those people I pass by might have submitted a piece I really liked. And really I've liked almost everything I've seen, even if it doesn't align with my idea of art, because it's not about that. What is it, is up to you to decide. Unfortunately the project is closed to submissions, but the website will remain as a testament and archive.
