Bananology and other certificates
- Subseries
- 1970-1998
Subseries originates with Banana’s earliest performance art while she was Victoria’s Town Fool. It consists of various certificates in bananology (including bachelors and masters degrees) which Anna would give out to individuals who had “Gone Bananas”, often after providing Anna with a piece of Banana paraphernalia or a Banana-related fact or story. This activity often took place within the context of her mail art actions, where she would mail the certificates back to networkers who had provided her with banana-related mail. However, it began while she was still Town Fool, prior to or concurrent with her entry into the mail art network.
The subseries consists almost entirely of various certificates, as well as letters to correspondents.
