Week 2: Educatief Project

De andere opdracht die we tijdens de les kregen was er een van de website van Miranda July en Harrell Fletcher: Assignment #32 Draw a scene from a movie that made you cry. Ik koos Cinema Paradiso (1988), een italiaanse film over een filmmaker die terugkijkt op zijn jeugd, toen hij verliefd werd op de films in de lokale bioscoop en de vriendschap die hij opbouwde met Alfredo, de man die de films speelt in de cinema. In deze scene nemen ze afscheid en vertelt Alfredo aan de hoofdpersoon om niet aan het stadje te denken en nooit meer terug te komen. Ik keek deze film samen met mijn vriend op bed op zijn laptop en kon door de tranen het scherm haast niet meer zien. Zeker een aanrader om te kijken als je van films over film houdt. Wat leuk was, was dat Oskar de film herkende van deze tekening! Toen voelde de tekening wel geslaagd.

Assignment #27 Take a picture of the sun. Just a picture of the sun, nothing extra or fancy.

I flipped through a copy of Learning to Love You More recently and decided to take on some of the assignments myself and see where this all takes me.  Come along for the ride if you’d like.

Lectures on THINGS by people... Intrigued? ;) 

Launched in 2002, Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July’s Learning to Love You More invited people all over the world to respond to seventy creative assignments set by the artists, which were collected and published as a web project. During this exhibition of the project, guest curators Will Rogan and Jonn Herschend of THE THING Quarterly accept Assignment #4: Start a Lecture Series, inviting speakers to present on a variety of THINGS that inspire their work and lives. 

Happening every week at SFMOMA through June 9th. →

Learning To Love You More

LTLYM is both a web site and series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designed and managed the web site.  Participants accepted an assignment, completed it by following the simple but specific instructions, sent in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and their work got posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments was intended to guide people towards their own experience. (...)  Presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others.  From 2002 to its close in 2009, over 8000 people participated in the project.

Check out their work and especially assignment #8.
