Call Ray Johnson! [116]

"Hey Ray! It's for you!"

As a special preview to the CW Post exhibition Ray Johnson & A Book About Death opening on November 3, 2010, Joan Harrison has set up a Ray Johnson phone-in line.  Yes, call Ray Johnson!

In the United States, you simply dial the following number and follow the prompts to hear Ray talk about A Book About Death, Correspondence Art, Making a Rectangle, How to Become A New York Correspondence School Member and other wonderful things from the iconoclastic artist.

Call 1 516 299 9472. 

When prompted, enter the stop number listed. The Stop Numbers are as follows:

63 Ray Johnson and A Book About Death
64 Cut 1 Correspondence art, Kings, Making A Rectangle
65 Cut 2 A Correspondence School event
66 Cut 3 The Charlotte Moorman Avant Garde Festival
67 Cut 4 How To Become A NYCS Member
68 Cut 5 Ray Johnson/Will Farrington Phone Messages.

As a footnote, I still have some of Ray's messages recorded from 1990-1992. One of my favorites is: "Hello Matthew, This is Andy Warhol calling from Heaven...."

Have any Ray Johnson phone messages? Let us know...
