Here's the info I've received from Tessa so far. If you already have the email contact for your artist but they're not listed below just go ahead and send them an email. At the very bottom of this long winded post I've attached the initial email I sent through to Tessa to pass on.

Dear Amalia,
Plans are progressing nicely for 'The Chained Lady, the Microscope and the Southern Fish' at SoFA Gallery in Christchurch, New Zealand.
As I may have mentioned to you, there is a particularly good group of Design students working with lecturer Aaron Beehre, who have come up with a plan to make a publication to accompany the exhibition.
They are full of ideas for the content, and will be developing much of it themselves.
One idea which resonates extremely well with the exhibition is to compile images and information about where and when each particular artwork in the exhibition have been shown before. As you can see from their email below, they are asking for information about the past exhibitions.
Perhaps you could go through your artists CV, and just highlight the shows in which 'Moon Golem' was shown and include high res images of any exhibitions, storage, shipping you might have of the piece - any of the different ways in the which this work has been show and articulated. Any Press Releases you have would be super, and otherwise they'll start hunting online I am sure. The students will find it fascinating, and would be great to pull out these multiple lives in the publication. I know it requires some work on your side, but I really think it worth it, and hope you'll help us out with info.
I think also that the students will assign one of themselves to stay in touch with you, and I've asked to be cc'd in as well so I know how and where we are going with it.
(I've also attached the most recent iteration of the (OUR) text - can you make sure you are happy with everything inside? Do you think it's a good way to explain the
All my best, and please find their letter posted underneath.

I have sent them on the great list you made of all the TROPHY exhibitions. They would love to have high res images of any exhibitions, storage, shipping you might have of the piece - any of the different ways in the which this work has been show and articulated.

Hi there
We are a group of 10 graphic Design students from New Zealand who feel
incredibly fortunate to be producing a publication for the exhibition
entitled The Chained lady, The Microscope and The Southern Fish. The
show (as you may already be aware) is a retelling of the exhibition
Every Version Belongs to the Myth, to which your work was an integral
part. We hope to produce a publication that builds on the function of
myth investigated in the exhibition. It will be available at the
exhibition opening on May 20 and serve as both a gallery guide and
documentation of the show. Included will be texts and visual material
from the exhibition held in Dublin as well as images of the
installation at SoFA Gallery in Christchurch. One of the strategies we
wish to explore within the document is the history of the artifact. We
are interested in the life of works that exist within a traveling
group show, and hope to trace the residual content of the work
separate to the artists practice. We believe that this will help
explore the myth around individual art pieces as they shift context
from show to show, continent to continent, timezone to timezone. This
information would initially attempt to be an art work’s CV and help
trace the elements of connectivity between the various works in the
exhibition.
We are all incredibly excited about the opportunity to develop these
ideas into printed form and welcome any information you may have that
would be of use in producing this publication. If you were able to
supply us with any information related to past exhibitions of the
artworks you have in the show, or could perhaps point us in a
direction you may think would be helpful, that would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks for your time. We are again extremely excited about this
project and are looking forward to sending you a printed publication
after its launch May 20, 2010.
