About This Item
New York.: (Onnasch Galerie)., (1974).. Three photocopied sheets, folded in original franked envelope.. Each sheet (28 x 21.6 cm). Starting in April 1968, Ray Johnson distributed mailings that called for “meetings” of the New York Correspondence School, where people sometimes came together (sometimes not) and during which Ray Johnson would often perform a “nothing”, part of his performance art practice. Many of his announcements were of fictive or virtual “meetings” of phantom “clubs.” On April 5, 1973, Ray Johnson sent a notice to The New York Times announcing the “death” of the New York Correspondance School. It is signed “Buddha University” with a bunny head. After this date, Johnson’s mailing activities continued apace under many guises such as Buddha University and Asparagus Club. Here are three variant invitations to one of Johnson’s early Buddha University meetings, held at the Onnasch Galerie on Spring Street, New York, January 19th 1974. Each of the xeroxed sheets reproduces drawings and handwritten texts by Johnson.
