Thx Mim, a look at the small print in that a&p is fascinating. I spy Bill Wilson. I spy Irene Dogmatic. She's still in Berkeley and friends w/ many of us on FB. Isn't that wild?

How terrific to see that. I haven’t ooked at my Ray Johnson bio book in awhile. I’ll check to see if there are any examples in it.

I just came across this scan of a Ray Johnson Add & Pass and thought you might like to see an actual A&P from the New York Correspondance School. Richard C or CrackerJack could tell us more, but my understanding is that Ray Johnson's Add & Passes were often very directed & based on themes.

Appreciate the mail, Mel Anie. I'm feeling so awful because things meaning mail incoming is piling up on my studio table. I will get to all of it, and I will add pass divide etc all things that call for it. Meanwhile, I've been grabbing an old postcard or artist card and adding a circle or text to it. It's fast and relieves my stress. See you all in the mail eventually. Peace and love

This is all very new to me. I have never received an official add and pass (or maybe I did once and didn't know what it was) and I have never received mail that looks anything like this example. So, oh dear because I have sent something to Mim: she was the first or second person to engage with me in a way I understood and so she (unfortunately?) gets the first messy energies of my flurry (all completely playful and tailored to her, though). I think I called one of the pieces an 'add, subtract, multiply, divide or simply pass'. I did not provide further guidelines. You may recycle it, Mim.

Good example.

Hi, another baseline thing. There is no right or wrong way to do an Add & Pass of course. But an average add & pass will have contributions from the artist & stamps or signatures identifying the artist & their location. It helps if there is a final destination. (These were invaluable before the internet). Here is a nice format circulated by a woman in the Netherlands. FYI.
