CENTER FOR MISSED CONNECTIONS...
Helloooooo
Holy Moly it is pretty exciting over here. We've got Ingrid Burrington's intriguing and humorous piece to share with you. In fact we liked it so much that we made a special edition poster of her Taxonomy of Missed Connections. Next month we'll be in Chicago for the NEXT art fair. AND next week we'll be letting you know about a whole new funding program we've started for artists!
Best, Eleanor and Oliver

TPG13: "Center for Missed Connections Information Initiative" by Ingrid Burrington
The Center for Missed Connections Information Initiative is an edition of 100 booklet sets by artist Ingrid Burrington analyzing missed connections posts on Craigslist. It is the most recent project by Burrington's pseudo-think tank - the CMC - which seeks not only to chart the loneliness of city life but to "encourage people to pay greater attention to those fleeting moments in cities that appear insignificant but linger in memory, producing a richer and more romantic and/or sleazy experience of the urban environment." The set contains a Citizen's Field Guide, a Field Observation Workbook, a fold-out "Taxonomy of Missed Connections," as well as a full-color "Geographic Missed Connections Study: New York".
In her review of the work, Madeleine Zinn says that it, "experiments with and questions our understanding of illusion and reality, blurring the two, while also offering an honest commentary on this phenomenon of communal loneliness and need for human connection in our country. This "outreach initiative" provides a critique of the way in which we communicate, date, relate, and experience loneliness and one another."
Our Annotated Links focus on other works that have been inspired by Missed Connections and on other artists/groups that work as think tanks, businesses, and organizations. We start the Discussion off with a question about how do we think about data and infographics in a time when we are now inundated with data about the minutia of our lives.

Special Edition: Taxonomy of Missed Connections Poster
We found ourselves very enraptured with Ingrid's Taxonomy of Missed Connections in the back of the "Citizen's Field Guide." So much so that we wanted to see it in poster form. So, for the first time, we are offering a Special Edition of The Present Group to everyone!
The Taxonomy classifies Missed Connections posts on a multitude of criterion such as demographic, degree (double take, actual conversation, hookup), reason for connection missed (in a hurry, not wanting to be "that guy") and location (gym). The poster presents this information in an easy to digest format.
This two color silk screened poster (dark brown and light turquoise) is 18" x 24" and printed on 100% recycled 95 lb Reincarnation Matte.

HORSE ART
Dear Equine Artist:

ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology
MUSEUM OF OUTDOOR ARTS
PREMIERES
ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology
On April 10th, the Museum of Outdoor Arts will open “ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology” an architectural exhibition showcasing the revolutionary design of a multi-component, modular green home prototype designed by the visionary team at MOS Architects. Led by Principals Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, MOS has an extensive international portfolio including institutional buildings, urban strategies, research, books, installations including MoMa’s PS1, and other projects such as inflatable housing, that are less easily categorized. The drawings and models designed for the Museum of Outdoor Arts are futuristic homes referred to as “Element House 1” and “Element House 2”. The exhibition will travel to Harvard and Yale Universities in early 2011.
A panel discussion with Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample (professors at Harvard and Yale respectively and have been featured in Dwell magazine with their "Floating House") begins at 4:30 p.m. and will discuss their work with MoMA and PS1, the Element House project, green building initiatives and answer questions from the audience on additional subject. A reception for the exhibition will begin at 5 p.m. and continues through 9 p.m.
http://www.archdaily.com/10842/floating-house-mos/
http://www.archdaily.com/12798/mos-architects-wins-the-ps1-competition/
The modular homes will be “off the grid”, or capable of operating independent of all traditional public utility services, and will be designed for pre-fabrication, utilizing strict LEED™ design criteria and limited to 1500 SF or less. The “Element House” is derived from the Fibonacci sequence, which in itself is a describer of developmental patterns in living organisms. This mathematical series was applied in order to explore the idea of recombinatory growth in building forms and the economics of spatial compartmentalization.
ELEMENT HOUSE- architecture for a new ecology runs April 10th, 2010 – August 14, 2010 at the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ headquarters and indoor gallery on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway (at Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive). The Museum is directly accessible from the Englewood light rail station. The museum is free to the public. Hours: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday -Thursday, and 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Friday. Information at 303-806-0444 or www.moaonline.org.
The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the visual and performing arts accessible to everyone. Commonly referred to as “a museum without walls,” MOA enhances public spaces by displaying art objects in the Denver metro area at Greenwood Plaza and City Center Englewood. The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) receives partial funding from the City of Englewood and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District—Arapahoe County as well as the Colorado Council on the Arts. The Museum owns and operates Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre and is home to classrooms, art studios, and indoor galleries at its main headquarters on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway (at Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive). The Museum is directly accessible from the Englewood Light Rail. The Museum is FREE and open to the public 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday – Thursday and 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Friday. Outdoor public art is always accessible. For images and more information, please call 303-806-0444 or visit us online at www.moaonline.org.

ONE MILLION BONES
http://www.onemillionbones.org
Hello Cradle Project Supporters,
I know it's been a long time since I've contacted you -probably since the end of The Cradle Project- but know that all of you have been on my mind over the past year and a half. I truly appreciate all the support and generosity you have given us over the years. I write to you today with an exciting announcement: the launch of our new project called One Million Bones.
After The Cradle Project came to an end and we reflected upon its amazing success, we felt compelled to use the same format of a socially-focused, large-scale fundraising art installation to shed light on another devastating issue that is affecting our world and our common humanity: ongoing genocides and the international community's lack of response to it. This is an issue I have personally carried very heavy on my heart, even before The Cradle Project, and I feel passionately that as human beings we must find a way to address it. Because of you, and what you showed me can be done through collaborative creativity, I chose to address the issue of genocide by creating a visual movement based on civic engagement and public participation.
Over the past year, I was honored to be invited to speak at various conferences across the country, where I was provided a platform to share some of the amazing stories that came out of The Cradle Project, which all of you helped realize. I feel humbled to share one of these talks with all of you, and in so doing, share the feelings that all of us who worked on the project in Albuquerque were able to come away with. Click Here for Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5birP2PLE0
The second half of the talk describes One Million Bones and what we believe is possible through the collective effort of caring and committed individuals like you. As leaders with The Cradle Project, I am calling on all of you to support One Million Bones as much as you can. At this initial stage we are in need of: artistic support, financial support, help spreading the word and engaging your communities. We are looking to build a visual and active movement ONE million participants strong.
One Million Bones will officially launch in Albuquerque on March 14th, 2010 with a bone making party at the Harwood Art Center. Please see the attached flyer for details about the launch party.
On behalf of the One Million Bones project, I invite all of you to be a part of it... to find your voice through your actions, your hands, your eyes and your vision. Please read below to find out more about the project and visit our website athttp://www.onemillionbones.org
And lastly, stay tuned we will be unveiling a new website with educational resources, videos and much more on our official launch.

One Million Bones
505 699 4613
www.onemillionbones.org
In Spring of 2013 one million bones-made by an international community of artists, activists, and students-will flood our nation's capital.
One Million Bones is a fundraising art installation designed to recognize the millions of victims killed or displaced by ongoing genocides. Our Mission is to increase global awareness of these atrocities while raising the critical funds needed to protect and aid displaced and vulnerable victims.
One Million Bones will represent victims of genocide, creating a visual demand for solutions to this issue. Ignored and therefore permitted, genocide continues today, while widespread awareness of it remains buried. One million people will each create one bone to represent one victim. Installed together, these million bones will flood the National Mall in Washington, D.C., unearthing the memory of these victims while calling citizens to action: mourning yesterday's casualties, caring for today's refugees, saving tomorrow's people.

ARTIST ORGANIZED ART
Artist Organized Art Acquires New Observations in Historic Alliance; Strategic Options Advance for Thousands of Innovative Artists
NEW YORK, Feb. 18 -- Artist Organized Art (AOA) and New Observations LTD (NOBS) announced today the two organizations will combine their activities in a leap forward for artist organized media, the voice of thousands of innovative artists. Artist Organized Art, a Massachusetts 501(c)3 Non-Profit acquired New Observations LTD a New York State 501(c)3 Non-Profit as a wholly owned free standing subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2009. The new relationship will allow the organizations to secure increased arts funding from Federal sources, multiple State sources, the private sector and their combined communities of support. Artist Organized Art, Inc. was formed in 2007 with a mission to support artist organized media, events and cultural education and provides strategic and logistical support to artists working in diverse communities. New Observations LTD is Publisher of the seminal New Observations Magazine launched in New York City in 1984. The publication holds 128 back issues spanning 20 years, each guest-edited by a chosen artist leading or emerging in the field.
Based in Massachusetts, Artist Organized Art is a nonprofit organization advancing artist organizers as drivers of creative capital and has led a global independent support campaign since 2003. New Observations LTD, headquartered in New York City, is one of the world’s most influential publishers of artist organized media. Having emerged from the critical first half of the 1980’s, New Observations Magazine maintains a direct connection between artists and the readership, enriching the dialogue between the arts and the public.
“This alliance is of great importance for artists throughout the world,” says Joshua Selman, President of Artist Organized Art. “Through our shared strengths we can now do more to increase support of artist organized art as a category of art making. We can now help more artists increase quality of life benefits in more ways for more communities.”
According to Diane Karp, Former President, New Observations LTD, “Aligning with Artist Organized Art gives New Observations a new opportunity to present the ideas and art that make a difference in the world. As a publication that honors the artist’s voice, presenting perspectives on contemporary art and writing from diverse corners of the creative community as well as the mainstream, it will continue to bring the most innovative art and ideas to a growing public.”
Founder, Lucio Pozzi, adds “As the Founder of New Observations Magazine, a publication which has advanced the arts for over 20 years, I am pleased that this alliance will allow it to reflect even more the life of art unfettered” Karp and Pozzi will remain on the Executive Board of NOBS.
Artist organizers and artist communities are critical drivers of innovation in the arts, design, technology and culture. Indeed, contemporary art has been one of the more stable ventures during the Great Recession. However, in recent years non-profit independent arts have dwindled while private and institutionalized arts have flourished. Whether caused by restrictions to the National Endowment For The Arts in the U.S.A., or through various forms of globalization, support for the artist organizer, the driver of art history itself, has declined throughout the world.
The two organizations stem from common roots and recognize the importance of combining their strategic efforts to magnify support for artist organized media, events and cultural education. The ownership change of New Observations LTD, to become a wholly owned free standing subsidiary of Artist Organized Art, Inc. was a unanimous decision by the Board of New Observations LTD and was carefully guided on the part of Artist Organized Art, Inc. by their legal counsel, the Boston office of DLA Piper LLP (US). The acquisition was in effect as of November of 2009. In the current structure New Observations LTD will continue with the same name, independent operations and will complement Artist Organized Art, Inc.’s global operations. The synergy has already met with an outpouring of artist, corporate and celebrity support.
New Observations LTD will continue to have an independent Board and its own advisory body made up of local and international leaders who live in or frequent New York City and New York State and will maintain it’s headquarters in New York City. The publication will continue to work with artists and partners all over the world. Copies of the 128 back issues, though in short supply, are still available through Printed Matter of NYC and online at http://www.printedmatter.org.
Erika T. Knerr, who served for 10 years as Art Director for New Observations Magazine and went on to work as a Designer for Fortune Magazine serves on the Executive Board of Artist Organized Art. She has now been made President of New Observations LTD and says “I couldn’t say it better than this phrase by Diane, our mandate is to address the arts from the inside out. We have published 128 extraordinary issues on topics that artists choose. Every issue was coordinated by a guest editor who proposed a topic and invited others to add their unique views on it.” According to Ms. Knerr a Twenty Year Anthology of New Observations Magazine is planned for publication. Additional information is available at http://www.newobs.org
More information about the acquisition will be available at http://corp.artistorganizedart.org
Artist Organized Art is a leading nonprofit charitable organization enriching the lives of artists, organizers and the public through artist organized media, events and cultural education. Available to millions of digital media households, Artist Organized Art brings a trusted resource to local communities across a multicultural and diverse society. The company has received copious donations of best of breed legal support from DLA Piper, Boston. Additionally, Artist Organized Art is a recent Google Grant recipient.

Shamanism + Cyberspace

"Rereads new media theory and shamanism itself, specifically in South Korea.

A New Algorithm to Attack Art Fraud
"Every few years, we're wowed by news of some jaw-dropping sum paid for a previously unknown painting or drawing by a famous artist. But how can a buyer truly be sure that a piece is a legitimate creation of, say, Leonardo or Gauguin? Mathematicians at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, N.H., may have the answer. They recently presented a computer-based statistical analysis technique which they say will help art historians and conservators discover even the most skilled forgery."
