From the Mind of Miranda July

I became a fan of Miranda July after watching her first feature-length film, Me, You, and Everyone We Know. I've been keeping up with her since then. She is a filmmaker, artist, performance artist and "musician." She's the closest thing we have to a modern-day Dada artist that we have. Here is an audio sample. It is called The Arky Girl:


I'm sure her music would be lost on many but her films and performance art are wonder-full. Recently she announced a book of stories she has written. It is called "No One Belongs Here More Than You." In true Miranda fashion, she has created a quirky website to promote it using a dry erase marker and kitchen appliances. If her films, websites, performance art and interactive art projects are any indication, her book should be intriguing to say the least.

Here is a link to a page of her interactive art project, Learning to Love You More; and a link to her all-girl video chainletter called Joanie 4 Jackie. If you don't "get it" click on the link on the bottom right that says "I don't get it." From there, click on the upper left links and watch various video clips from the video chainletter.
