Developing our Exhibition Proposal for Thursday

Following our seminar with Richard Bell, when he suggested our group wanted to exhibit in the Tate Modern, I sent this email to the John Martin Gallery. The email slightly bends the truth but hopefully they will send us some images of the gallery space and the outside, to show in our presentation for Thursday! This gallery is our ideal; great location in the heart of the West End, one large ground storey, large front windows to attract passers-by, an amazing PR team to design and create promotional material for the exhibition. None of us wanted the Tate Modern, may be in the future you will see our work there, but for now we want intimacy.

To the John Martin employees,

I used to work for Citco, a Hedge Fund Company, along Albemarle Street before changing careers. I am now involved in promoting American art, especially artists who are based in the southern states, and this is where hopefully you can be of some assistance!

Would it be possible for you to send some images of the outside of your gallery space and a few of the inside, as I am proposing to curate an exhibition in London? After visiting your gallery many times during my lunch hour, I now envision the John Martin Gallery when discussing the idea of whether to present in the West End. I would be eternally grateful if you could send a few images of the gallery and its context as it is relatively difficult to communicate a space without visual aids.

Yours Sincerely,

Sarah Baumann

Fingers crossed!!! Lying is bad...
