[sat] ISEA 2011

[Trevor Paglen]

Hi Max
No worries at all. To tell you the truth, I expected this to happen. Those
kinds of conferences I think are more geared for faculty people who have
their own research money to spend on going to conferences and things. 

No worries at all. And hope all is well.

Trevor

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
