From Critical Correrspondence...


Happy Summer everyone! As we write today we are beginning to "migrate" all of our content from the site
you've known to the site you'll meet in one or two months. In the
meantime, there are a number of very inspired conversations we don't
want you to miss and some other features.

Lili Chopra's interview with Raimund Hogue took all the time in the
world to make it to publication, but it's finally on. More recently,
Levi González spoke with Isabel Lewis about the making of Strange Action, recently at PS122,
and about her experience of Berlin, where she's spent most of the last
two years. The conversation between Robert Steijn and Daria Faïn reflects a
lucky meeting of minds and spirits, taking off from Robert and Maria, his collaboration
with Maria Hassabi (an interview with Maria will follow), to cover a
large range of topics on art, living and performance. We also have an
interview with John Jasperse conducted by Jmy
Leary, who promises more correspondences from her new post in L.A.



We have added one chapter to the What Sustains You? series. Layard Thompson speaks on his
relatively new role as community organizer/developer within a queer
community in Tennessee, and how this configuration answers many of his
ideals and desires for a possible life-making-art existence.

Through the summer, aside from migrating content to the new site, we are also
building our team for the coming year. As Alejandra sets sail for a
season or two outside of New York, Milka Djordjevich and Ursula Eagly
join CC as Guest Editors in what we hope
will be a new model of visiting editorial voices.

In addition, we can't do the work without those who have joined us through Movement
Research's internship program through the years. All our gratefulness
and then some to Olive McKeon and Christine Elmo for an awesome year of
devotion and thoughtfulness. We are looking now to interview, select and
train two people for the coming year. You may find a detailed
description of the job here.

Thank you for reading, writing, transcribing, recording and making!
