Where LoveKey Began & Where it's Going
The LoveKey Movement was birthed after a conversation with one of Cody's best friends, Cosimo Bruno, who at the time was going through a difficult break-up. Cody extracted the essence of what his friend was feeling and became the vessel to bring to life his desire for unconditional love through an act of performance art called, Love is the Key, in which random people on the streets of New York City became active participants.
Below you will see where the LoveKey Movement began, and in a few sentences, here is where we see it going: keys, merch, murals, charity work, global symbol for love. Maybe it becomes its own charity organization? Maybe it becomes a household name? Whatever it becomes, it will always be a powerful way to tell people they are loved.

Installations
The Other Art Fair, Los Angeles, Spring '23
Attendees of the Other Art Fair's Spring LA edition were invited to exchange a personal moment of when they have each felt most loved in exchange for a LoveKey.
Opening night, the keys were gone in two hours and the notes kept piling on. The same energy continued on throughout the weekend, resulting in the collection of 585 moments.
Here is a promo for Dallas using footage from LA.
Cody has created a coffee table book with all of the LoveNotes received at the fair. Get yours now!
The Other Art Fair, Dallas, Spring '23
Attendees of the Other Art Fair's Spring Dallas edition were invited to exchange a personal moment of when they have each felt most loved in exchange for a LoveKey.
What started off as a tamed response by seemingly uninterested fair-goers turned into a profound experience filled with countless smiles, deep conversations, and even some tears.
Here is a short video of the installation in action.
