Q: I am sending a formal proposal to be in a show about the oscillation between local and global. How should I address the envelope?
A: If you are writing to a curator at home, the envelope should always be addressed to his wife, whilst the proposal itself should be addressed to both. Likewise, a thank you letter should always be addressed to his good lady.
Q: What is the correct way to reply to an invitation to a radical discursive picnic?
A: If you are sent a formal invitation, you should send a formal reply, written by hand, in ink, on headed paper and in the third person:
Mr Tayto thanks Stazi(on) zur Stazi(on) for their kind invitation to a discursive picnic on Thursday 15th January and has much pleasure in accepting.
or
Mr Tayto thanks Stazi(on) zur Stazi(on) for their kind invitation to discursive picnic on Thursday 15th January, but due to a previous commitment to talk about this kind of shifting/floating between the two, this in-between-ness, he regrets he is unable to accept.
Q: How do you cancel a socially engaged engagement politely?
A: In the event that you cannot go to a socially engaged engagement that you have agreed to attend, you should first of all telephone Koresh as soon as possible to let him know that you will not be going. It goes without saying that you should have a good reason. You should follow this with a brief letter of apology.
Q: I am about to send out dilogual interface invitations. What is the form for inviting participants to a dilogual interface reception but not to take part in the discourse itself?
A: As space is often fairly limited in temporary mdf structures, it is often necessary to invite some guests to the dilogual interface reception only. The invitation could read:
RadiKunst
request the pleasure of your company
at a reception following dilogual interface
with their chair Koresh
with Malmo Art AcademyMasters students
on Thursday 18th May
at The Martini Club
R.S.V.P.
Calton Manor
Little Mailing
Shropshire 4 o'clock
Remember that whereas it is accepted that a participant can be invited to the reception but not to the dilogual interface, doing the reverse is a major breach of received ideas.
