don't give up magnets, Cindy Loehr 2000 (ongoing)
1.5" x 3.5" each, printed magnets

I designed "don't give up" magnets to acknowledge and confront the persistence of despair in everyday life. They are distributed free of charge by myself and personally invited distributors, who help fund their orders.

Distributors include Project Row Houses (Houston, TX), Richard Brown (Calgary, Canada), Rodney Carswell (Chicago, IL), Edward Stack (Washington, DC), Kathryn Hixson (Chicago, IL), Nick Frank (Milwaukee, WI), and Jeremy Boyle (Pittsburgh, PA). Names are stamped on the back of each magnet to trace distribution. The two rules of don't give up distribution are: free distribution, and one magnet per person.

To date, over 5000 magnets have been distributed.
