Ovation TV | Ray Johnson: How to Draw a Bunny

Though not widely known like Andy Warhol, collagist Ray Johnson has been called New York's most famous unknown artist. While often described as reclusive and mysterious, Johnson is known as the founding father of "mail art" and for the way his art challenged the commercial and cultural mainstream.

Interviews with Christo, Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein, Judith Malina, James Rosenquist and others help to illuminate the life and work of Warhol contemporary Ray Johnson.

With a mission to "Make Life Creative," Ovation TV is a multiplatform network focused on entertaining, inspiring and engaging the artist in all of us by offering original and acquired programming focused on art, culture and personal creativity. The network is distributed via cable, satellite and telco, and is complemented with its popular broadband website (www.OvationTV.com).

Comment by Ed Varney on December 20, 2008 at 3:55pm: Interesting little snippit which dovetails so well with "How to Draw a Bunny" - one of the most fascinating Mail Art documents of all. Thanx for thre posting.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on December 14, 2008 at 6:26pm: Yes, interesting. The DVD "How to draw a Bunny" reveals even more of what Ray's games were all about. Includes an interview with Norman Solomon (video) just before he died. Also connects very well with the long interview I did with Norman Solomon in the mail-interview project
