JESSE COHEN (OF TANLINES) IS A PHOTO ARCHIVIST
From an interview in the Village Voice:
How long have you been online?
I don’t know how to answer that. I was never a LiveJournal person or anything. In 2003 and 2004 I was doing some online art projects. In those days, you made your website or had to know someone who made one, because there wasn’t Tumblr or Wordpress. So we did a few music art projects, my friends and I. I used...

RAY AND BOB BOX
In 1988, Robert Warner first came across a piece of mail art sent by Ray Johnson to a mutual friend. Intrigued, he contacted Johnson, who called him a few days later. That phone call initiated an intense, fascinating exchange between Johnson and Warner that lasted until Johnson’s death in 1995.

Seduction Machine: The Libidinous Modernism of the Bachelor Pad
Dada’s Völkerpsychologie: Rethinking Primitivism in Zürich
Looks like so much fun I...
