Buffalo correspondance school

Launched in 2024 as a cross-country mail art project between Ariel Aberg-Riger and Noah Falck, the Buffalo Correspondance School is an ongoing exercise in physical, slow, and exploratory collaboration. Born from a shared love of Ray Johnson and mail art, BCS has grown into a creative ethos—a commitment to play, experimentation, and community as a force for making art.
