Love Matters in Art: My body, My mind, My life // Namibian News ReTyped and edited

Love Matters in Art starts a dialogue between the viewer/reader, an individual person in the society, and the poster, object presenting the text, dialogue happens in the process of reading. Dialogue is the interaction between the poster + the viewer, reader. 

Posters in Action.

Simply: to create a dialogue between everyday people, us all, with no titles and no status symbols. The dialogue inside of us and possibly continuing as a conversation between different viewers.

Visually, the logo design is as an appropriation design of the Land Matters in Art project logo (currently running in Windhoek). But it is smoother, rounder, handprinted, manifests itself as a red ink stamp, the News ReTyped. Always a stamp. Stamp is the printer and a link between the paper and myself.

Love Matters in Art is about You.

"All Violence is the Illustration of a Pathetic Stereotype". 

- Barbara Kruger

“Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another.

Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met.”

― bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions
