Alone for Valentine's Day? Head for the Subway
For many New Yorkers a crowded subway car would be the last place to look for romance. But the New York Transit Museum has a different opinion and plans to celebrate finding love on mass transportation with a “Missed Connection,” its second annual Love-in-Transit party on Valentine’s Day.
Inspired by the popular Craigslist forum “Missed Connections,” where users post about brief encounters with strangers hoping to reconnect, the event will feature work based on these stories from different artists, writers and musicians. Although the museum won’t replicate the experience of sharing a look across a crowded F train, Marcia Ely, of the New York Transit Museum , said the party will celebrate mass transit’s unique ability to bring people together.
“This night is really about being a New Yorker [and] really what happens in that space that we all know so well,” said Ely. “[It’s] kind of public and full of all sorts of people. That’s the subject of our museum.”
To help with the festivities, the museum, located in downtown Brooklyn, has brought in illustrator Sophie Blackall. The Brooklyn-based artist will show work from her acclaimed book, “Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found,” which features Blackall’s interpretations of “Missed Connection” posts.
Illustrating posts with titles such as “Girl on the Golden Swan Bike” or “Owl Lady in the Red Dress,” Blackall portrays these chance meetings as whimsical and colorful, where even two lonely coats can have a moment on the train.
Originally an illustrator of children’s books, Blackall said she found the Craigslist forum thanks to her own missed connection with a handsome stranger on the subway.
“He mouthed ‘Missed Connections’ at me through the [subway] window,” recalled Blackall. “So I went and looked and saw what it was and was completely sucked into it.
