Learning to Love You More

I recently attended Harrell Fletchers lecture last term as part of OSU's visiting artists series. Fletcher is an artist who's approach is to first understand a site's physical and social characteristics. His work invovles diverse non-art related populations and individuals, and reaches audiences around the world. For the last ten years Fletcher has worked collaboratively and individually, exploring social spaces and communities.

Though arriving 45 minutes late to his lecture at OSU, I found some of his collaborative works quite compelling. In particular, his on-going website; www.learningtoloveyoumore.com, which I invite you all to visit. At this site not only can you view the collaborative efforts of people around the U.S. and world on a particular assignment, anyone can participate and submit their pieces to add new ideas and diversity to the site. Some are funny, some are pure sound, and some are just strange submissions that show how different the world and people really are. It is worth taking a look, and feel free to let me know what you think!
