Black Mountain alum, collage artist, impresario of the Nothing, and founder of the New York Correspondance[sic] School (NYCS) Ray Johnson (1927–1995) is the subject of a major exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, based on the archives of Bill Wilson. Bill was my close correspondent and a contributor to my biography Look Up: The Life and Art of Sacha Kolin (Midmarch Arts, 2008).
