LOVE SOUP
Be part of an exciting experimental art piece!
The Bigger Picture:
For about a year, I have been separating boxes of alphabet soup into two piles. One is a pile of L’s, O’s, V’s and E’s; the other pile is “leftovers.” I intend to feed the LOVE soup to my close friends on a one on one basis, by their invitations, in their kitchens. The rest of the letters have posed a problem for quite some time—I do not want to feed loveless soup to anyone, friend or stranger. Finally, a solution presented itself: group meditation. There have been numerous studies on how group meditation has altered the state of physical things. An example of this is an experiment done in the late seventies in Washington DC, where a large number of participants were said to lower crime in the city by merely meditating on it together.

The Invitation:
I would like to invite you to help me meditate the love back into the loveless soup. I will lead mediation sessions from Monday, April 27th through Thursday, April 30th, 10AM to 5PM at the Reed Gallery. You can drop by for your lunch break or stay for the whole day. You can participate, make suggestions, or just watch the process. The culmination will be the cooking and eating of the soup, which will take place in the gallery during the opening reception for the show on April 30th, in the evening.
The Place:
The Reed Gallery is located in the DAAP Building on the University of Cincinnati campus. Here are more detailed directions: http://www.daap.uc.edu/gallery/reed
Please email me if you have any questions.
Hope to see you there!
