Dear Kristina Niedderer:
I am writing to you about the upcoming conference.
I will be in london to deliver a lecture that week and would very much
like to attend the conference on the 8th. The conference fee is
however out of my budget. I am Professor of Painting at Boston
University and drawing and interdisciplinary work is central to my
practice. I saw on the website that there may be reduced fees in some
cases. My budget for this trip is overwhelmed by the expenses of
getting and staying in England but I would still love to be part of
this. Is there a way to get some kind of concession on the cost? I
only want to attend the lectures and do not need to visit the Big Draw
events. However I will be looking for ways to encourage the adoption
of this initiative in the states. I am very familiar with the whole
thing as I was part of the foundation discussions on developing large
scale drawing initiatives ten years ago with Diana Pethabridge. These
talks led to the beginning of the Big Draw.
Hugh O'Donnell
