About Love’s Remedies

Love’s Remedies is an initiative of artists BRD and Hannah Kim Varamini. Intended as an operating framework foregrounding relationships and attention as artistic material, we address subjects such as need and desire through interaction and process. While programming, events, and fostering curatorial visions may be components of what Love’s Remedies is and does, we believe that these demonstrations are secondary to what happens when people listen and respond to one another.
