Learning to Love You More
http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com is both a website and series of non-web presentations comprising work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designs and manages the website.

Participants complete an assignment by following the simple but specific instructions, then send in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc.) and see their work posted online. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments is intended to guide people toward their own experience.

Since Learning To Love You More is also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings, and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participants’ documentation is also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Past presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum, Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., Aurora Picture Show in Houston, Tex., The Seattle Art Museum, and the Wattis Institute in San Francisco. Since LTLYM’s inception in 2002, over 5,000 people have participated in the project.

Participate in an assignment from Learning to Love You More, and write to us about your experience. You can also send us a picture of your completed assignment. Be sure to include your assignment number!
