Greetings,
I am writing to submit a reproduction rights request, as the application portal on your website seems not to be working.
I have been in communication with Artists Rights Society, who suggested we arrange the license through you as the license holder is based in Canada.
The image we are requesting permission to reproduce is: Ana Mendieta, Untitled from Silueta series in Mexico, 1976 original slide (see attached image).
The Employee is 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 funding and 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.
The photograph will be featured in the interior of the book, in a text of art historical analysis by Schwebel, which we are happy to provide. The Employee is and English-language book, will have a print run of 400 books and is designed by House9.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
