  Anthony suggests a framework for future project suggested by Barbara and Alexander
 

Dear Barbara and Alexander,

Thanks for your message. I hope you had a good time in Berlin.

Thank you for the additional information about '73 Technologies ...'

I am interested in it for various reasons, one being I hope it will help to put behind us previous misunderstandings and the awkward situation created by Alun and Susanne. By the way, please can you remind them to send me a photo copy of your comic strip—they have not done this yet.

I have been thinking about how best to contextualise the project as an event and I think it might be best to pick up the humorous-didactic approach you suggested in your first email. I would propose something like a 'Summer School for Resistance' featuring:

1. exhibition by Brener and Schurz: '73 Technologies ...'

2. opening event for the exhibtion including performance by B & S

3. free pamphlets, edited by B & S in co-operation with AA

4. public lectures, suggested format: 2 short speeches/performances each + discussion. I can think of a couple of people who might be interested in taking part. Who do you have in mind?

5. private consultation and coaching by appointment with B & S: like music lessons or personal trainer, for money

Contents are your thing, but we need to be able to discuss it in practical ways. Organisation and PR are my job, but we need to work together on this to meet deadlines and connect with networks, make sure we get the right message out etc. We need to make a PR strategy which is well suited to what you want to achieve with the project and to the media conditions here in London. We need to allocate the funds accordingly. Money comes from ACI/BKA except your fees for coaching if you get any clients. It's basically low budget, low tech, do-it-yourself (remember there is no gallery staff). Accommodation at ACI depends if they are not already booked up.

Please let me know what you think. I'm considering a visit to Vienna in the second half of June. We could sketch a plan by email and work out more details face to face.

With best wishes,

A
