Dear Peter,
We just received the draft of the contract from Katarina
this morning . After reading the draft and discussing it with
our team we came to the conclusion that the conditions are
too unreasonable to accept, it almost looks that somebody
does not want this show at all . We concluded that we could
produce the show only by borrowing money from the bank using
the Linz contract as a collateral, something we hesitate to
do as it could leave us holding the bag . We want you to read
this draft very carefully and try to understand our
frustrations . We both feel that we have already lost our
team, they took it very hard . . .(everybody has put a lot of
time and enthusiasm into this), and without them we do not
see how we can salvage the project . In this fax are
Katarinas' contract draft and our reply. . . please call!

Dear Judson,
Woody asked me to contact you . He is very pleased (and
relieved) that you would be available to work with us on the
exhibition for ARS ELECTRONICA. He is depending on your
expertise on early digital tools .
We would like to suggest to the organizers that you receive
a $6,000 fee (payable in three installments) for your
contribution as a resource, researcher and essayist . Please
understand that this is preliminary and not a promise . We have
not yet received a contract, but have requested the first
installments of funds this week . If this is agreeable, please
fax your curriculum vitae immediately so that we can send the
budget increase and vitae to Linz .
Attached is the description of the project as we understand
it to date .
I look forward to working with you.
Regards,
MaLin Wilson
Special Projects Coordinator

Gentle n,
We are and have been for a long time a Not for Profit
organization with a Tax Exempt status . We know that the
Austrian tax laws are in the accord with our US status and
we have negotiated our first contract with LIVA on the Tax
Exempt provision . Please note, that your GUTSCHRIFT from
June 25 subtracts 20% from the production budget of the
Catalog. Please adjust this part of payment to the original
sum of US$ 10,841 . We do not characterize this as an
Honorarium though, the term you used in your GUTSCHRIFT, to
us it is an Production budget with many technical and
creative contributors .
And finally, please note, that your advance does not
carry a fee of an Catalog Editor and any compensation to the
Vasulkas Inc . for technical and administrative expenses . Our
contract clearly states, that our obligations include the
pre-production of the catalog materials, but in a final
decision with Mr Weibel, our participation went fare beyond
that .
Sincerely Woody and Steina Vasulka
