Dear Fred,

We’d both like to thank you for allowing us to access 20 Rosendale street and photograph and remove the art work we installed without your permission.  Though our actions took liberties that weren’t ours we hope you realise our intentions were positive.
Living and working as artists in London it’s very difficult, verging on impossible, to find suitable spaces to photograph and exhibit our work. Though 20 Rossendale street  has  ‘safety and structural’ issues we are aware of we felt it worth taking the gamble as it’s an inspiring space for use, seriously!
With your consent, we would both greatly appreciate an opportunity to use the space again in February to show a video for two hours on an agreed Friday evening.  It would be with minimal intrusion to the building and we would be leaving the interior in an ‘improved’ state.
We hope to develop a working relationship which is advantageous and hassle free to both you and ourselves.
Regards,

Simon O’Donovan
