dear Marina,
sorry for the delayed response, the past month has been quite busy. I am a week away from opening a solo show in Montreal that is the outcome of two years' research into the gentrification processes of the gallery's Mile End neighbourhood, so I have been consumed by this work.
However, I also met with the graphic designer of The Employee publication, who put some heat on me about the publication timeline, so I wanted to let you know that we are aiming to have drafts of the texts by the end of January. Is that a feasible timeline for you?
I would be very happy to meet with you over zoom to update you on the outcomes of the project, since it has been some time – almost a year!?– since I first briefed you about the work. I do hope you still have the capacity to write on this work.
In other news, I am overjoyed to hear that you will be coming to Berlin for a somewhat extended period of time! I am indeed still based there (although in Montreal until the end of this month). I am perhaps the worst person to speak to about housing, but I hear of anything I will absolutely keep you in mind.
My warmest greetings from Montreal.
Josh
