We know Furtherfield are great Marc - thats why we're co-publishing a
book with you in October! :)
We'd love for you to come to the festival - I think you'll find there
are a number of (y)our peers presenting at the conference and beyond, as
many as we could squeeze in, alongside hopefully some new faces. Since
you sound up for it, can I book you in to a half hour slot in our salon
programme, running throughout the festival?
Its definitely going to be a nice time - hope you'll join us!

>> Speakers and workshop leaders include:
>>
>> -Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media and
>> Performance Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York.
>> -Gavin Wade, director of Eastside Projects in Birmingham.
>> -Mark Nash, Head of Department of Curating Contemporary Art at the
