I have not loved (enough or worked) presents a diverse range of accounts that explore the complexities of love, longing, loneliness, and loss. These accounts include melancholic-sanguine email letters, case studies on cognitive labor within the Jogja art scene, and more. Through these narratives, the publication delves into how our understanding of these intricate and often tortuous notions shapes our relationships with the world as a collective, as pairs, and as other social assemblages.

The publication accompanies the exhibition I have not loved (enough or worked) at The Art Gallery of Western Australia, which features a diverse range of video, photography, painting, and sculpture by artists Hai-Hsin Huang, Daisuke Kosugi, Rinko Kawauchi, Sejin Kim, Pixy Liao, Lin Zhipeng (aka 223), Lieko Shiga, and Tao Hui. Their works reveal the profound entanglement of our bodies and the subjective forces of love and desire within the fantasies of the "good life."

I have not loved (enough or worked) is the second title in the series Unclaimed Ideas, which is presented as a series of paperback readers. Unclaimed Ideas features essays and interviews by leading voices and undiscovered talents who challenge our understanding of art and its relationship to the most critical issues in the world today.

Through its exploration of love, longing, loneliness, and loss, I have not loved (enough or worked) offers a unique perspective on the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which our understanding of these concepts shapes our worldview.
