Hi Josh!

Thanks for this. I am hoping to get back on this track tomorrow, so more from me then.

In the meantime, it turns out that I will be in Montreal November 7-14. I don’t suppose you will be around? Maybe it would be a good idea for me to meet Farah - even just for a coffee to say hello?

I chased her. She need to at least respond to one of us.

Cool

Wonderful! Give me a heads up when it is ready and I will dive in.

Now that we have the citations from Mariane, I am going to use that to format Marina’s text and re-send to her with image suggestions (see below).

Cool. I will review it and get back to her asap.

I chased her.

I feel confident that his text will contextualize the work within institutional critique, and I think now that he is in, █████████████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ████ ███ ██ ████ ███ ██ ████ ██ █████ ██ █████ ███████ ████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ████████████████ ███████ ████ ██████ ████████ ███ ██ ███ ██ ████ █████████
This is such good news! It will be no problem to edit his text into shape - █ ████ █ ███ ██ ██████████ ███████ ██████ ██████ ███████ ██ ███████.

Yes, I do think it would be good to bring in someone before Dana. Let me ask around and get back to you.

> 9. images / citations
> would it make sense to go through Marina's text together the next time we meet to propose images? I think it might be an effective way to do this task.
Sure! I have set arise time next week to get Marina’s text into shape and think of images, so I will let you know once I’m ready for that meeting.

Thats good to hear. No rush on bringing someone else in if you feel you are the best person for the job.

I’ve cc-ed you on some image followups. Typically, I have not heard back from the NGC. I’ll try to call them at some point.
