"In 1969, Ray Johnson was invited to participate in the 7th Annual Avant Garde Festival on Ward’s Island. For his contribution, he decided to rent a helicopter and drop 60 foot-long hot dogs onto the unsuspecting lawns and houses below. This performance related to a series of drawings he was then doing: traces of people’s feet. Johnson was later surprised to learn that many people ate the hot dogs, thinking they were food, not parts of an artistic performance.” Ray Johnson Estate
