On
December 16th, 2007, the renowned artists Erik Van
Loon and Femke Dekker will
reveal their next international artshow Fight For Love.
In this Guerilla-style artshow, ordinary people fight
against each other as kissboxers in order to win Fight For Love.
The
Fight
The
fights will
be three rounds of one minute and will be decided by the kissboxer
who has kissed the other the most times or by a technical kiss-out
of 4 kisses. The only rule is that the kisses have to be made
above the belt.
The
Inspiration
This
kissboxing tournament Fight For Love is inspired by among
others the annual
K1 finale in Tokyo whereby contenders from all over the
world fight against each other in order to obtain fightsports'
most coveted belt and a winner's purse of USD 400,000.
But we have a much bigger prize for each participant:
- each participant will get an artbook with their Kissboxing profile in it
- and they can watch themselves back at home on
Fight For Love Youtube.
The winner will get:
- an impressive belt made out of 100 heart-shaped sweets made by Femke Dekker
- world fame when they win the final of the Fight For
Love in Tokyo.
World Champion Kissboxing Erik Van Loon from The Netherlands
finally

by a thunderous right upperkiss against her chin.

The Playground
On a playground of 2.5 x
2.5
m2 at
Harajuku Bridge
participants
will
fight against each other in an open tournament
on Sunday,
December 16th from 12:00-17:00 and the whole
tournament will be filmed by Paul Wouters.
The Mission
Fight For Love will be like John Lennon and Yoko Onno's
Bed-in
for Peace in 1969 to draw attention to the prevalence of violence in
society. Hopefully this and next Fight For Love artshows
in cities throughout the world will make John Lennon and Yoko Onno's dream 'Give Peace A Chance' come true.
The
Exhibition - book
Photos, a short video, and a profile of each kissboxer will be
exhibited in galleries and published in an art book, which all
participants will get.
