Dear mur.sat, Lisa and Trevor.

We are terribly sorry.
The conditions under with the ISEA submission is now can't be fulfilled by us. After all the work we have put into the organization we are very disappointed having to tell you that we don't see any other option than canceling the panel for the ISEA in Istanbul. We tried to get sponsors like the Goethe Institute Istanbul, the IFA, the American Consulate in Istanbul and similar Institutions, but were out of luck. Mostly this was because of the short time between proposal and actual event, the budgets for 2011 are already allocated at those institutions.
The ISEA came forward with their idea about who pays for the speakers at a very late stage, we would have appreciated this piece of crucial information at the submission stage, then we could have reacted a bit more timely and we would have had more sponsoring opportunities.

However this being said, we would love if the effort we all have made wouldn't simply evaporate but would lead to something else. We have a promising offer by Pedro Soler of the Laboral Centro del Arte in Gijon, Spain. They host a satellite workshop (10th to 14th of May) with mostly spanish language presenters (+ mur.sat):

We could join forces and try to publish our essays in a publication together with them.
We'd like to have your feedback about this idea and any comments or conditions you might have.

Kind regards

Max, Elena & Lasse
