Dear Bopha,

I have one further request regarding The Employee.

Concurrent with the printed publication I am also preparing an online archive of every email sent or received concerning the project.

As you have crossed paths with the project, I would like to ask your consent to include our project-related communications in this archive.

My purpose here is to record the project and arts-production as a vast administrative process that, like most art-making, blurs personal and professional, and that is a nearly-24-hour process.

I will redact your email address and any other personal information (I don’t think there is any), but do let me know if there is any other information that you wish to be removed, or if you would prefer not to have your communications included. I can send you a pdf of our emails if you like, but since I have been absorbed in writing my own text, I haven’t stayed as on top of the email archive as I would have liked.

Thank you, and sorry that this request is coming so late in the game.

Warmly,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, of course. I am in full support of this. I've always found correspondence in the archive to be incredibly illuminating in the blurring of the personal and professional. 24/7 email people!

- I realize there were a couple of emails regarding technical details re: image rights that I dropped from in an attempt to save your inbox, but L re-cc'ed you :)

- I wouldn't mind having a look back to see if I should redact anything especially in regards to Minquon Panchayat. I don't think there is, but I want to be sensitive to those conversations that I had. I won't get to this till late next week though. I'm currently in a glut of deadlines.

best,

b

Hi Bopha,

Thanks. That all makes a lot of sense.

I will send you a copy of the emails we exchanged later today.

Not a problem at all.

Warm greetings,

Josh

dear Bopha,

Attached is our email correspondence (it is not in order, but the order is inferable from the emails, and it will be in order on the website).

If there is anything aside from your email address (and that of others in our correspondence) that you wish for me to redact, please let me know.

thank you as always for your concern and careful consideration, I greatly appreciate the experience of working with you.

warm regards,

Josh
