Postponed until next week due to today's storm, New York artist Ingrid Burrington’s Valentine’s Day-themed talk Connection Over Missed Connections at Franklin Street Works will scrutinize romantic longing across various cities as mapped out through a leading Franklin Street Works online classifieds hub. “Analysis of Craigslist Missed Connections postings and communities,” notes Ingrid of her show Taxonomy of Missed Connections, “offers a glimpse into the loneliness and sexual tension that serve as the linchpin of any thriving metropolitan environment.”
Part of FSW’s Neuromast: Certain Uncertainty and Contemporary Art exhibition, Taxonomy of Missed Connections is also a component of Ingrid’s Center for Missed Connections project and its mission to encourage a collective embrace of loneliness, both poetic and banal, within public spaces.
Find out more about Ingrid at her website, lifewinning.com. A free exhibition, Neuromast is curated by Taliesen Gilkes-Bower and FSW Creative Director Terri C Smith and will be on view through March 9.
