Missed Connections

This is a video based of Craigslists Missed Connections section in their online classifieds. I used real ads from around Kansas City and went to the actual locations where the missed connections happend. I then recorded various people reading the ads, blurring the gender of the actual ads.

In taking the project further I went back to some of the locations and made "interventions" putting the actual ad in that public space. The photos below are my documentation of making a cake in a supermarket, putting up a window static cling on a coffee shop window, and slipping in bookmarks which had the text from the original ads.

Responses to this project and video would be greatly appreciated.

Erica's newest painting (shown in the photo) really takes her work to the next level, building on her combination of materials and process's that relate to the home. 

The Show will remain up for the next month.
