Learning To Love You More
Nicky Peacock / Miranda July / Harrell Fletcher
16 January 2009 - 8 March 2009
BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art presents the participatory exhibition Learning To Love You More. The exhibition, organised in collaboration with Middlesbrough artist Nicky Peacock, consists of public responses to assignments created by international artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher.
Visitors to BALTIC are invited to choose from a number of assignments, complete them, and later see their work displayed as part of the exhibition in BALTIC’s ground floor entrance gallery The Street. Assignments include ‘act out someone else’s argument’, ‘make and encouraging banner’ and ‘take a flash photo under your bed’. As the exhibition continues the work will accumulate as more submissions are added by BALTIC visitors. Quay BALTIC’s Learning Centre on Level 2 will act as a temporary-studio in which visitors will be provided with the materials necessary to complete a selection of Learning To Love You More assignments.
Additional Information
Learning To Love You More is an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world that grows as more submissions are added. Since its inception in 2002, over 5000 people have participated in the project, and each response becomes a submission for possible inclusion in future presentations. For more information please visitwww.learningtoloveyoumore.com.
Past presentations of completed assignments from Learning To Love You More have taken place at The Co-operative Building, Middlesbrough: The Whitney Museum, New York; Aurora Picture Show, Texas; Wattis Institute, California.
