The works in the exhibit (created 2017-2024) provoked driving questions around how we relate to one another, what responsibilities we have in those relationships, and how they're formed and codified.&nbsp;In Each Other We Trust presented a selection of new flags from the prototypes for white flags series, along with lessons (vol. 1), and a limited edition love devours time publication.

Soft Spots is a brightly colored mindfulness path inspired by the playful style of self-help and mutual aid graphics that gained popularity on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subverting the language of "social distancing" signage, the text along the edge of each spot feature affirmations and questions for those seeking support and building community. The installation is paired with a calming audio tour of guided visualizations that help to foster a sense of self-confidence and to decrease social anxiety.&nbsp;Locations: Queens location Staten Island location From September 1, 2021 through February 9, 2022, two iterations of Soft Spots were located in New York City at the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk in Queens, and Stapleton Waterfront Park in Staten Island.

Photo by Adam Carlin. —LOVE IS SIMPLE AND SIMPLE THINGS DEVOUR TIMELove Devours Time was&nbsp;a marquee and manifesto (in five parts) on view at Greensboro Project Space in Fall 2021 as part of The City Billboard project.&nbsp; LOVE DEVOURS TIME (a manifesto in five parts) 1. Love is a choice: Love is action. We choose to love. Love cannot be forced but it can come as a surprise. 2. Love is sustainable: Love only endures when it is maintained, upheld, or defended. It is a cyclical, resource-intensive process. Love may be transferred from one closed system to another but it never ceases. Love is a commitment. 3. Love takes time: Love requires trust. Trust feeds on respect. Respect is built from time. In other words, love is simple and simple things devour time. 4. Love is presence: Love asks us to pay attention to what is happening now. Love in the past is conjured up from memories we have only reconstructed, and the future of love is made up of fantasies that we play out in our minds. The present is all we really ever have of love. That present is infinite. 5. Love is a practice: Deep listening, close looking, and attentive feeling is the recipe for love. Like any good recipe, you can’t follow the directions too closely. You must leave room for a little magic. It is all in the interpretation. https://jeffkasper.co/Boundary-Objects Sun, 17 May 2020 17:36:15 +0000 Jeff Kasper https://jeffkasper.co/Boundary-Objects Boundary Objectssocial space2020 <img width="1600" height="1077" width_o="1600" height_o="1077" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98bf4428047a02c0c98b7b4fba2da73426aabd3c7e1f21c0b1aa4a386fa5dcf1/5.-scaling-vulnerability.jpg" data-mid="71370058" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98bf4428047a02c0c98b7b4fba2da73426aabd3c7e1f21c0b1aa4a386fa5dcf1/5.-scaling-vulnerability.jpg" /> Image Description: Jeff Kasper, scaling vulnerability (2019).

Regardless if you seek to resolve conflict with your partner or you are dealing with your own conflict, your response can escalate or decrease the intensity of the problem. To be calming, provide an objective or neutral point of view. Encourage the formation of an actionable plan to work together and achieve a resolution.” —SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN COMFORT AND&nbsp; VULNERABILITY Boundary Objects is a social space for navigating interpersonal boundaries.&nbsp; Visitors were encouraged to use the exhibition to slow-down and practice playful choreographies of support facilitated by games and creative tools.
