C o l o g n e O F F 2013

Hope you’re doing well. I’m contacting you because we want to thank you! The content you provided us was really fantastic. We found that not only our guests but our residents (and us here at the gallery) were very impressed by the work. All the DVDs worked perfectly smoothly and the image quality on all the videos were impeccable. We got great responses from guests about the videos and many guests spent a long time sitting watching them! I found myself entranced by much of the work and spent some time looking up artists you curated into the DVDs.

It was really great working with you and we can’t thank you enough for providing such quality content to exhibit. We’re excited for any future ventures we might be able to team up on!

Thanks,

Jacob Mandel & Evonne Davis
