We are planning to do a closing ceremony in San Francisco to celebrate the end of our 7 year Love Art Laboratory Project. Save the date! It will be outdoors. We are planning on doing a sunrise walk around Bernal Hill to ritually end the Love Art Lab. Then we will spiral up to the top and have a white wedding to the sun to welcome in our new Sexecology project. As our Love Art Lab project will be ended after this, our calendar will be continued on our new site sexecology.org

Annie and I will be presenting a sneak preview of our film, By Gauley I Married a Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story and I will be presenting my paper: Social Sculpture Situated. December 1-2 2011

‘Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze’ SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA November 4 – 30, 2011
The exhibition ‘Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze’ will examine the visibility of men and masculinity from female/feminist/transgender perspectives. In the context of this exhibition, the male figure will assume the historically ‘female’ role with the male body and its gender expression shown as spectacle for a woman’s viewing and contemplation. This truly feminist stance positions the surveyor as critic of traditional gender roles, problematizing notions of ‘men,’ ‘male,’ ‘masculinity,’ ‘women’ and ‘female.’ This is an inclusive show for women and transgender artists to challenge what it means for ‘women’ to look at ‘men.’

Come, deepen and celebrate your connection with Nature in a beautiful, fertile fantasy garden estate. Merge deeply with the Goddess Gia as both your lover and your mother. Lori Grace Star will introduce Tantric and Native American meditations for merging with Nature. Elizabeth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle will guide you on an sexecological walking tour filled with eco-sensual delights.

Find your e-spot! Learn 25 ways to make love to the Earth! Stimulate your senses!

Learn about sustainable organic gardening in this beautiful garden, which has bees, chickens, fish, native plants, vegetables, berry patches and an orchard among other delights.

You will have a chance to dance, draw and express your feelings about our Lover/Mother Earth.

Truly an amazing day of fun, rejuvenation, healing, experimentation, art, learning, personal growth and celebration for all!

Headphones hang next to seedlings and performances range between farm stands, mapping our queer edible history and projecting that history into an imagined future.

The Love Art Lab will be there to perform and share our Sexecology research. No one turned away for lack of funds.
