dear Denise,
I hope landing into the ICA job, and your other multiple amazing projects are going smoothly.
Following up from our chats over Messenger, I wanted to set a date for a conversation between us and the publication co-editor, Lauren Wetmore.
The goal of this conversation will be to discuss The Employee in the context of Canadian artist-run culture and the related role of public funding bodies in determining the form and content of artist-run culture. We hope that your experience working within ARCs and especially your critiques of how public funding is structured will inform our conversation. We will record the conversation and use a transcription software to return a text to you following the conversation.
Let me know when you will have time – maybe an hour or a bit longer – for a zoom call. Lauren and I were hoping to schedule this during the week of the 26 of June. Would that work for you?
Lauren and I are both in the EU, so earlier would be better than later.
Looking forward to this so much, and thank you for trying so hard to make time for this, I know how busy you are these days.
warmly,
Josh

Hi Denise,

Let me quickly echo Josh’s excitement about including your voice in this publication. I'm thrilled by the opportunity to talk through these subjects with you and very much look forward to it. 

Also, I’m sure this is already on your radar, but when I lived in Pittsburgh, the Dolphin was always worth a trip for a fun time. 

Hope you are both well,
Lauren

Hi both,

I'll be traveling to LA that week and running around with my colleague for work the entire time, so our schedules and time zones will be a little less in alignment. However I will be in Toronto July 1-4th is there a time in there when we can talk. Are you in Ontario Lauren?

Best,

Denise

Hi both, 
July 1, 2 or 3 could work well for me. 
(I live in Brussels).
Best,
Lauren

Hi Denise and Lauren,
Those dates will be fine for me.
Are any of them preferable for you? I would love to lock it down in our calendars.
I am also wondering, Denise, would you like for us to share our proposed questions with you in advance, and other of the more finalized publication texts?
Warmly,
Josh

Ok.
July 1st? 9:30am / 3:30pm?
Lauren, would you like to try again with sending a link through the transcription software?
I will share questions, etc. with you shortly, if you want to look them over to prepare.
Looking forward to it! Thank you both!!

Let's say 10:30am or later, I may be jet lagged from the west coast.

Great!
You both should have received an invite from RiversideFM for 1 July at 10:30 / 4:30. 
Make sure to have a pair of headphone (ideally without a built-in microphone) for the session.
Best,
Lauren

Added. Thanks both of you!
