For those of us who attended the Loire Valley excursion this past weekend, we saw a van with the words "Futuring Company" written on the side, with the picture of two bald woman inside. Everyone who walked by was extremely curious of what a "futuring company" could be. The two woman inside did not help settle our imaginations either.
Through inquiry, I decided to see what this was all about.
It turns out that this company is actually a lesbian couple, whose dream was to "[carry] on making [contemporary] art together and being art together since their official wedding ceremony in 1991."
Their ultimate goals are to challenge societal ideas about art, gender and sexual identity. "With a powerful and confrontational message, EVA & ADELE defy the conventional description of what an artist is."
"The idea that "art is life and life is art" is what guides them in their constant effort to free themselves from pre-established paradigms and to create truly revolutionary art."

You made OUR day for finding this. How cool. I thought 'futuring' could be 1 of 2 things, 'coupling' or 'telling the future'?
