John W. Love, Jr. — The Perpetually Pregnant Man: On Life and Meaning

On Life and Meaning

John W. Love, Jr.John W. Love, Jr. is a surreal apparition of a being who creates multi-sensory experiences that invite participants into a world of Yes.  He is an interdisciplinary literary and performance artist.  His work is as ‘deliciously complex, circuitous, textual, and contextual as his own nappy hair.’  He tells stories that are earthen and fantastical.  His installations delight and confound.  He smears boundaries because ‘definitions all fit like a fat man in a toddler’s big girl dress.’  John is a poet, an actor, a dancer, a sculptor, a director and a teller of tales.  In his stories characters burn blue.  He is a recipient of the Arts & Sciences McColl Award in recognition of artistic excellence and a Rasmuson Foundation Individual Artist residency.  He is a North Carolina Artist Council Fellow and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow.  His work had brought him to places around the world.

This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the life-affirming funkiness of a daring interdisciplinary mind and the intentions and expressions of a love warrior mystical being.
