Annie Sprinkle is doing a 7 year art project all about her relationship with her partner, Elizabeth Stephens. In describing the live performances put on by the couple, Sprinkle says "We create a theater/performance art show about our relationship exploring artificial insemination, breast cancer treatments, queer weddings, art experiments, aging, sexuality and more. As a response to the war, anti-gay marriage sentiment and the politics of breast cancer, we invite everyone to a genuine celebration and critical public exploration of the deepest realms of romantic, sexual and familial love to bring about positive social change."
The website includes photos of art exhibits and performances put on by the couple. Each year will explore a different facet of love, and each year is represented by a different color of the rainbow.

I love to see art projects where the artists is able to say "My life is art." Without artifice, the feeling and emotions experienced by a person are ART. I personally think that there is a poetry to each moment we experience. Sprinkle's art project embraces this. Our everyday emotional experiences can be reflected and appreciated.
Reminds me much of Tracy Emin. When I was in Amsterdam, there was a tent, in which Emin had sewn the name of every person she had ever slept with. Is one's kissing book art? Why not?
