LOVE TV, by Australian artist Rebecca McIntosh and art producer Victoria Johnstone, blended visual art, performance art and a talk show to invite New Yorkers to share their stories of life and love in New York City. LOVE TV explored the identity of people, places and diversity through the universal subject of love. The program followed artist Rebecca McIntosh, who posed as goddess Aphrodite, as she spoke with celebrities, musicians, historians, artists, local heroes and the public in her hot pink TV-shaped mobile studio. The performance encouraged creative conversation and provided the community with a chance to reclaim public space.
By partnering with artists like Rebecca McIntosh, DOT’s Urban Art Program aimed to enhance and enrich the public’s experience at Summer Streets, a three day closure of Park Avenue for recreation held on Saturdays in August. The LOVE TV performances took place at Foley Square and Centre Street at Pearl Street. Performances were also held as part of Weekend Walks in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
