Learning to Love You More 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 and various guests. Yuri Ono designs and manages the web site.
Harrell Fletcher has worked collaboratively and individually on a variety of socially engaged interdisciplinary projects for over a decade. He has exhibited at SF MoMA, the de Young Museum, The Berkeley Art Museum, and Yerba Buena Center For The Arts in SF, The Drawing Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Smackmellon in NYC, DiverseWorks and Aurora Picture show in Houston, PICA in Portland, OR, CoCA in Seattle, WA, and Signal in Malmo, Sweden. Fletcher is represented in San Francisco by Jack Hanley Gallery, and in NYC by Christine Burgin Gallery. He was a participant in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. In 2002 Fletcher started Learning To Love You More, a participatory web site with Miranda July.
Miranda July was born in Barre, Vermont. July makes performances, movies, recordings and combinations of these things. Her videos (The Amateurist, Nest of Tens, Getting Stronger Every Day) have screened internationally at sites such as the Whitney Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam. July's most recent multi-media performances, Love Diamond and The Swan Tool have been presented globally in spaces such as The Kitchen in New York, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. July has recorded several performance albums, and is a regular contributor to The Next Big Thing on National Public Radio. She has also directed a video for the all-girl rock band Sleater Kinney, made her feature film acting debut in Alison Maclean's Jesus' Son, and her short fiction has been published in magazines such as the Paris Review and The Harvard Review. In 1995 she founded Joanie 4 Jackie, a movie distribution network for independent women movie makers, which is now a tutorial at Bard College where it is operated by students. Today Miranda is hard at work on a feature-length movie. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
