You have my permission to use the photograph in question with the following condition.  Please identify the secretary in the photo as Marcia Traylor (Mosko).  At the time of the Asher exhibition there were only two employees of the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art: myself and Marcia.  We, together, were responsible for the first three years of LAICA's existence and she has received very little credit.

Good luck with your project,

Robert Smith

Dear Robert, 

████ ███████z from the Micheal Asher Foundation passed along your email address.

I am currently working with her to release permission for the use of the attached photograph in an upcoming publication titled The Employee, forthcoming this year from Art Metropole. The publication is of critical texts and first-person testimonials by artists and cultural workers reflecting on The Employee, a year-long conceptual artwork by Joshua Schwebel. The publication will include texts commenting on the precarity of publicly funded cultural labour and considering long-present fault lines in systems of labour within the creative economy. It will feature texts by Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte, Teresa Carlesimo, Bopha Chhay, Dana Kopel, Michelle Lacombe, Denise Ryner, Joshua Schwebel, Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott, and Marina Vishmidt.

I expect that the conditions of your permission as the same as those of the Foundation, and is contingent upon theirs, but Roxy mentioned that there may be additional considerations. Please let us know at your earliest convenience.

With best wishes,

Lauren Wetmore
