Notes

"I arrived in Reggio Emilia with Maria Teresa, as planned for the "Incongrous Meeting 1998" project, in the afternoon of january 13th, meeting at Manitù Rossi's flat for the last rehearsals of Ray's song and the final touches to our evening performance. I distributed some bunny masks with different names to the musicians and the few friends that will follow the event. The big double bass is laboriously escorted upstairs and then again into a car, when we leave at about 8.45 pm for the nearby town center, parking near to the general Post Office. We reach the main entrance of the P.O. at 9 pm and the four musicians quickly prepare their instruments in front of three red mail-boxes, under the yellowish street lights. I arrive with my big black bag and the two video cameras start rolling, recording the event (it will be later mixed into a 6' video-clip): while the music plays, I open the bag and assemble on the floor a set of cardboard images by Ray Johnson, simulating an exhibition of "moticos" (one original stand-up is enclosed with each copy of this publication). At this point a police surveillance car notices us and slows down to see what is going on, but luckily they leave after a few seconds without interrupting us. When all the images are ready, I put on a bunny mask and take from the bottom of the bag a triangular plaque with the inscription RAY JOHNSON 1927-1995, I carry it to the entrance door of the P.O. and glue it on the wall next to the POSTE ITALIANE plaque. Then I return to the installation and oput all the images back into the bag. When the song is finished, Manitù folds the sheet with the lyrics, puts it into an envelope addressed to "Leo Castelli's ghost" and I slip it into a mial-box. A single passerby that had stopped to hear the song, applauded and asked "havent' you got an applause-o-meter?" (V.B./FdM).
