Arunchal Exhibition: The Forgotten Arts of Arunchal Pradesh
Letter of the 25th January 2007- Exhibition in New York at the Rubin Museu of Art is postponed - possiblilty that the loan wil be resceduled for New York in 2008
Enquiry stage only. List above taken from 12/10/2005 email which reads:
\'The exhibition at Dresden is secure for October 2006 - March 2007. After that there exists a good chance that the exhibition will wander to the Rubin Museum of Art of the Himalayas in New York City ...
Regarding the inclusion of objects from Cambridge in the project it is still a bit open, since Dresden' s partner Leipzig is not accessible as yet for comparison of objects possibly stored there. But since you and I agreed that I would let you know by October what objects for loan we would be interested in so that you could inform the board at your next meeting, I am attaching a preliminary list to this mail. I would like to ask you whether it was possible to \' reserve\' these objects for the time span August 2006 till April 2007 until I can give you further notice and confirmation.\'
