LOVE TV is a my life's work and I now have the opportunity to take LOVE TV on an amazing tour across many diverse communities and sites of New York City, this coming July and August 2012.

Over ten years, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people about their personal stories in my LOVE TV installation. Not only have I captured incredible tales of passion, honesty and hilarity, but I have done what I love to do best - create exciting, spontaneous, unexpected moments in public spaces.

I am passionate about the positivity and benefits strong public art can bring to communities and individuals across the world, and I try to ignite great social outcomes through my work.

Love TV has been presented at major cultural events such as Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe Festivals, Sydney International Festival, Art & About Sydney, Melbourne Comedy Festival, and recently in partnership with Brisbane City and Queensland Theatre Company.

Noel Fielding, Rutgher Hauer, Claudia Karvan and John Safran are some of the people I have shared my Love booth with.

Collaborating with Creative Producer, Victoria Johnstone, we have developed LOVE TV into a model for dynamic community engagement, public art and meaningful social documentation.

Over the past three years, we have worked hard tirelessly towards presenting LOVE TV on a tour across New York City. This opportunity is now a reality and we are confirmed to partner with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), local community and arts organizations to tour LOVE TV at multiple sites across the five buroughs of New York – Our schedule is a fascinating mix of partnerships with some amazing arts organisations, diverse communities and some of the City’s most iconic locations, including Flat Iron Plaza, Coney Island and Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

We will record the tour, events and interviews and broadcast them to you via our Youtube Channel, Facebook and the LOVE TV website. You can join on our journeys.

We now ask for your support. Your contributions will help cover our costs to get to New York as well as record and edit the interviews so we can send the stories throughout the world and back to you!!
