Hope all is well
Hello Yura,
It’s been too long since I’ve communicated with you. Hope all is going well with you, Katya and the exhibit.
I’ve been busy with The Discovery of Piranesi’s Final Project and with my brother and there were some health issues I had to deal with over the last two months. Plus I’m always tired by the end of the day.
I know I wrote previously that I wanted to submit some kind of statement about my relationship to Russia for the exhibit. Right now I’m not exactly sure what that statement might be. Let me know if you even think it’s necessary, as I don’t want to interfere with the exhibit as the curatorial team is planning it.
Plus, let me know if there are any press releases written for the exhibit. I’m interested in anything official about the exhibit. And, of course, let me know if there is anything I can do to help with the exhibit at this point.

what is the difference between paradise & utopia?
The entire January 1972 issue of Du magazine (Swiss) is devoted to "Utopia: Visionärer Städtebau gestern und heute" (Utopia: Visionary Urban Design yesterday and today). Unfortunately, all the text is in German with not even an English summery.
Off hand, the only specific architect[ural] rendition of Paradise I can think of is Terragni's Paradiso (room) within the Danteum.
There are, however, many oasis reenactments (i.e., paradise) within architectural design. Learning from Las Vegas notes the 'oasis' aspect of the outdoor pool areas of the various hotels, and even Dubai (and it's artificial islands) and Abu Dhabi may be considered reenactments of the oasis/paradise paradigm rather than following an utopian model.
Paradise as the ultimate in real estate?
what is the difference between paradise & utopia?
I'd say both paradise and utopia are man-made [intellectual] constructs, but paradise is metaphoric and utopia is paradigmatic.

1965. Monday, Neuilly-sur-Seine
Replying to Cleve Gray's news that Macmillan Publishers would like to publish his autobiography and the suggestion of making recordings which Cleve would edit, Duchamp replies: "I flatly refuse to write an autobiography. It has always been a hobby of mine to object to the written I, I, I's on the part of the artist."
