We Think Alone- A Project by Miranda July
We're huge fans of artist, author, actress, director and all round superstar Miranda July- you can read our interview with her here.
Her latest project is guaranteed to bring a bit of joy to your inbox. Commissioned by Magasin 3 for the exhibition On The Tip of My Tongue, every Monday from July 1 to November 11, 2013, visitors will receive a themed compendium of 10 emails. Sign up at wethinkalone.com.
"We Think Alone has given me the excuse to read my friends' emails and the emails of some people I wish I was friends with…. None of these emails were originally intended to be read by me (much less you*) …Privacy, the art of it, is evolving." –Miranda July
*All emails were written prior to the start of this project.
