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"; "Photograph two strangers holding hands"; "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 in the project--artists and non-artists of all ages, from New York to Cullowhee, North Carolina, and from Tel-Aviv to Rio de Janeiro. For this book July and Fletcher have carefully curated a provocative selection of the most memorable submissions. These written and visual responses range from shocking and moving to hilarious and oddly brilliant. Together they 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.</p> 965580 20 9 2007 Learning to Love You More total:528|5:222|4:197|3:89|2:15|1:5| 528 2200 1200 78 3 8 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 19:44:39 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 04 00:18:32 -0800 2008 http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/
