about, should be completed within the month, and sounds like it would

I thought your project looked really interesting, as
no doubt Alexandra told you! So - I am going to run a
few ideas past the vice-president tomorrow. The only
bad/negative thing is that the Board of Directors has
already decided on its budget for 2004 - but  I do
have some other ideas.

verry sorry about not coming back to you before, we think  the project

immediately but after considering our schedule for next year we
realized that we just can"t cope with another exhibition deadline.
But thanks anyway for inviting us, hope to see you soon.

Thanks for your email. I have to admit that we do not normally recommend
people but suggest that anybody who is interested in Turkish artists can
come and research our archive. I understand that you are covering many
countries with your project so it is probably not feasible to research
everywhere.

Bonjour ;
Excusez moi de vous écrire en français mais c’est le
meilleure moyen pour moi de vous répondre vite. A la
première lecture, ce projet m’intéresse beaucoup et je
veux bien y participer. J’ai visité le site, mais vu
mon niveau très moyen en anglais, je vais d’abord le
lire attentivement avec mon dictionnaire pour être
sure d’avoir tout compris, après je vous répond d’une
manière précise.
Cordialement.

                     I just reread the details of the project on the net so
I understand it again. Its certainly interesting especially since
it's so wide open. but I really do have to squeeze a number of prior
commitments into my short working space (dealing with my poor father
is really time consuming)  so the possibility of doing a video, no
matter how short, is just not possible now. i wish you all luck in
the project and give them hell,

I liked very much the idea behind your project. I am not sure what can be
said more about its concept: the intention to put together works by
different artists side by side is very clear and I guess it can really
produce unexpected results. Only that I know that many artists in fact
prefer to work individually so that the selection will probably be limited
to much younger artists.
 
 

I hope that my comments willl help the realisation of the idea and that
the project will prove that I am not right in being so cautious about the
expected response of the artists.

With best regards,

Thanks for the thorough explanation. I am sorry for the short answers, but I am very busy at the moment.

I think that it would be the best that you directly explain the project to the artists.
 
Here is my suggestion, please tel them that I gave you the contacts, I hope they will be interested in the project...

but you had also organized two exhibitions the
catalogs of which I keep.

I am sorry not to have responded earlier but I was out
of the country- and I have mislocated the attechment.

I should recommend you to contact with                                              He is video artist from Novosibirsk, but very well known in Moscow. He is really talented. His work was exhibited all around Russia and he was a participant of some international project (Russian contemporary art in Berlin, 2001; Moscow - Berlin, 2003), but still able to be inspire by project and have a lot of generosity. His English is fluent, so just write to him!
I wish you and Natasha good luke. I hope you project will be successful.

Many thanks for your invitation to participate at your project.
I am very sorry, but I think that is fair to tell you at beginning that I am
not a kind of Artist that is able to participate in group projects. My work
is mainly based on introspective research and is connected to exploration of
personal things.
But I can recommend you my colleague                                  who is also a
Video-Artist.
and you can say that I recommended her.
I think that she would be better for your Project.
I wish you a lot of success in your Project and future work.
