Learning to Love You More

Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July

In a world obsessed with ‘reality’ programming, the collaborative public art project known as “Learning To Love You More” offers a refreshing take on how people think, act and love. Created by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, the web-based project, begun in 2002, offers more than sixty ‘assignments’ that can be completed by anyone: ‘Write the phone conversation you wish you could have’; ‘Draw a constellation from someone’s freckles’; ‘Take a flash photo under your bed.’ Completed assignments are posted on the web site; to date, more than 5,000 people have participated – artists and non-artists of all ages, from Tokyo to Tel Aviv. July and Fletcher have curated a selection of the most memorable submissions – some moving, others hilarious and oddly brilliant, to create a pop culture collage that tells a larger story about life today. The result is an engaging, heartwarming, idea sparking book sure to inspire, teach, and entertain.
