Dear Mr Newth,

Thank you for your recent email and concern over 'Dust' - one of our items that is currently on loan to The Deceleration Project from the UK Museum of Ordure's collection. I have discussed this matter with the other members of the Board of Directors and have concluded that the following URL is the correct one and should be used for the link to the piece.

Whilst we recognise that the URL itself is a remnant of a previous show at 291 Gallery, Hackney, we would like to point out that since 'Dust' is a permanently located in the ordure.org dump, its proper location is subject to decay and rot itself. We hope you find this suitable and will continue to use the above URL as the link to 'Dust'.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that the URL http://dump.ordure.org/dust.cgi is a pointer to a dynamic PNG image, and not a web page (note that the proper link references the .cgi script in an IMG tag). A browser that is not configured to display PNG files in the browser will attempt to download the file to disk. However, it is important to note that for the purposes of the exhibition, we would prefer the proper URL be used since this carries additional references to relevant text and information.

I hope you find this response appropriate. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries.

Kind regards,

Dear Adrian Ward

I am contacting you about 'Dust' that is currently on loan to The Deceleration Project. The 'on site' texts about the work are installed in the gallery space and have received a great response. I have been building the website and I am not sure that I have the correct link for the work. At present I am using http://dump.ordure.org/www.ordure.org/291/dust.html I'm sure this is documentation from the 291 Gallery installation. The link that you originally sent us was http://dump.ordure.org/dust.cgi - I cannot seem to get this to work however as it requires a download to view. Perhaps you could contact me and let me know the correct link so that the work can be fully functional for the duration of the show. You can reach me by phone on 07786265331 or by email - mail@martinnewth.com

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.

Best wishes

Martin
