Paul Shortt, "Missed Connections"

Paul Shortt is a student at the Kansas City Art Institute, and just had a show opening at Project Space in Kansas City. This particular body of work from Paul, titled "Missed Connections", was inspired by ads taken out in Craigslist describing brief moments of connection where people encountered a stranger they would like to get to know better. Paul recreated the ads in the locations that they took place, and also created a film of the locations he went with voiceovers of the ads.

Paul Shortt's show, "missed connections" will be up for the month, coming down the third week of June. Next door at Paragraph gallery you can also catch "Happy Tree Friends part 2", which features several installation works themed around Trees.
