By Eduard Freudmann, Can Gülcü, Juma Hauser and Roberta Lima.

A fictitious email correspondence during the preparations for a fictitious
exhibition including /artist#1/, /artist#2/, /artist#3/, /artist#4/, /artist#5/ the /curator/ and the /operative manager/ of the /inviting institution/ and others.


"I am certain that in the next one-hundred years we will discover artists whom, as /hungarian painter/ wrote in his diary, 'made acquaintance with God'."
...
"hey, did you know that your image of you half naked is in international fashion magazine advertising the /inviting institution/ show?"
...
"hmmm .. i am afraid, this mail also went to /operative manager/ and /curator/. now its getting experimental."
...
"/inviting institution/ finances your trip and accomodation. This is quite extraordinary at /inviting institution/, as far as I know."
...
"Although we haven't met already, I am quite sure that you are a much autonomous and self-assured artist."
...
"yes: organising exhibitions is a tough job. i hope you get paid for it : )"
...
"I certainly feel ashamed and I don't think I deserve the right to criticize such a great artist as you are."
...
"Never mind /artist #4/, I take care of this "cultural/semiotic conflict" and I get your new text translated ASAP."
