File Under So. Co., Waiting for...
American artwork in Burlington, Vermont
File Under So. Co., Waiting for... is a public art installation in Burlington, Vermont. Built in 2002 by Bren Alvarez, the concept and name symbolise the delay in building the Southern Connector ("So. Co.", a proposed northward extension of the I-189 to downtown Burlington).[1] The filing cabinet is over 40 ft tall and was created by welding standard filing cabinets together[2] over a year, with a steel rod inside keeping it upright.[3] The 38 drawers in the cabinet symbolised the years since the Southern Connector was first proposed in 1965.[4] Birds have been known to nest in the upper drawers.
