Thanks for sharing that link, Gwendolynium!  I recommend the Morgan Library website to sample the exhibit.  It's a must when in NYC if you have the time.

Ray Johnson and mail art at the museum!....

an interesting view of mail art in this internet world?

Jordan Carter, associate curator says:

 "I hate to sort of do that anachronistic comparison, but it’s difficult not to think about it in the context of social media. He was using mail as a way to network, to connect with people, to initiate activities and responses from people too, and to also brand himself in a way that continuously shifted based on his particular rapport with the recipient. But there was something about the act of sending and receiving the materiality of the envelope, about what was inside it, and about the ability to then think about a response. Will you respond, and what happens if you do respond? What will you receive in return, and what will culminate from this epistolary relay? There’s this idea of risk involved, of putting yourself out there in a way that is ephemeral yet remains as a physical record of a specific exchange."
