When I first encountered the I GOT UP postcards at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, I was moved to tears. The cards aren’t even hand written. I GOT UP, is made with a stamp of some kind. On the front of the cards there are scenes from 1970’s New York City. The best-known cards are addressed to John Baldessari, but these aren’t the only cards Kawara sent. This is roughly the same time that Kawara started the I AM STILL ALIVE telegraphs – which became the I AM STILL ALIVE tweets.
