Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens explored how to expresss love through art on Monday in their talk titled "Assuming the Ecosexual Position: Adventures of the Love Art Lab."
The presentation highlighted the pair's philosophy that their art should venerate love in the face of a world filled with war, hate and greed.
Stephens and Sprinkle use their experimental art to respond to violence and ignorance in culture politics, specifically in regard to war and the movement against gay marriage, according to the website of The Lab, a San Francisco arts organizationa.
Professor Nestor Gil of the visual arts department organized the event.
Gil has seen the couple lecture in North Carolina and in California, and thought they had something very valuable to share with Bowdoin.
"What I love most about their work is its light, fun, joyful approach to tackling serious social problems," he said.
During their visit on Monday and Tuesday, Sprinkle and Stephens also attended a few art classes and spoke with students.
The talk was sponsored by the visual arts department, the Women's Resource Center, the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversit and the Lectures and Concerts Committee.
