Love maps
Date
2003
Place
Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, SA
Description

The exhibition delves below the surface to explore the underlying motivations and social values that shape experiences of desire. The psychiatrist, Dr. John Money, coined the term 'love map’ to describe the mental template that defines an individual’s unique picture of an idealised lover and an idealised romantic and erotic love relationship.
