Dear Walter @ E-flux,

We have received your e-mail and honor your request concerning the design of our email announcements. We will no longer distribute e-mails that resemble those of E-Flux’s and all future events will be presented in our own original design.

It should be noted that Pavilion Projects had no malicious intentions; Pavilion Projects is an initiative that experiments with the actual notions and limits that determine the art milieu. Our mandate permeates all our activities from curation to administration, with this in mind, you can understand that the structure of E-Flux‚s e-mail announcements was appropriated and treated as an artistic element. It in turn acted as one of many details that contribute towards Pavilions greater presence.

If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best,
Team Pavilion
