WHO IS INVITED

Everyone! Every thing! Bring your dogs, kids, invisible friends and other critters.

WHAT

We’ll do a simple, unplugged ceremony on the hill. Think Quaker, Zen or Occupy Bernal Hill. We’ll form a circle in public space. Rain or shine. Sun or not. Anyone can join in our circle. There will be some scheduled bits and also room for spontaneity.  We expect the ceremony to be more or less one hour. No material gifts please.  However, we welcome the gift of collaboration, if you so desire. 

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

We did it! On December 18th, 1994, seven years ago, at our Red Wedding #1 in NYC, we vowed to explore love through art for seven years. This commitment, and our Love Art Laboratory project, will come to an end this December 18th, 2011. We also made a vow to have a wedding every year for seven years, because we were forbidden to get legally married, a war had just started, and we believed that more love could help change the world. We also did it for fun and to create spaces for our communities to celebrate our love for other and our love of the Earth. Well, we did fourteen fabulous weddings; we married our community, got legally married in Canada as part of a theater festival, married the Earth, Sky, Sea, Moon, Appalachian Mountains, rocks, and coal. We did this in six different countries and over two thousand people participated. It was a glorious experience. So touched are we by the outpouring of generosity. What a love-art fest! We made our project seven years long when performance artist Linda Montano invited us to use her art/life structure. Each year was devoted to the theme and color of a chakra. These guidelines made for a magical and liberating experience. In our green year, we married the Earth and our lives took a radical turn. We became ecosexuals, and took the Earth as our lover! We found ourselves wanting to help stop environmental destruction. We see this as our life’s work now—doing ecosex art, theory, practice and activism, and we aim make the environmental movement a little more sexy, fun and diverse. Through this project we hoped we would learn more about love… and well, it’s still a big mystery. However, what we do know, is that our love for each other, for you, for animals, all living things, for our whole planet is growing each and every day to Universal proportions, and it feels good.
