Get Hubbied is a project conceived by Bettina Hubby and slated for 2010 that will manifest as a genuine legal or symbolic) ceremony for a marriage-bound couple who will entrust the artist collective HubbyCo with every detail of the ceremony. Marriage, a confounding but lastingly resonant institution, remains the only widely accepted form of officially honoring a relationship between two loving individuals.
The ceremony will offer the entire scope of components that have become hallmarks of modern-day nuptials, from invitations to rice toss to videography. A collaboration among select artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers, each was ascribed an aspect of a conventional ceremony that they will re-work conceptually with the couple in mind. Each artist was thoughtfully selected according to their individual talents and specialties that related to each category of the ceremony.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity kicked off with an advertisement seeking applicants in the October 2009 issue of ARTFORUM, introducing HubbyCo's one-time service as planner-curator for a wedding slated in 2010 to a couple--of any gender, race or religious affiliation and of legal marrying age.
