dear █████████ ,
I hope you are well.
I am currently in the process of archiving outcomes of The Employee project, which will become part of the publication, The Employed. I am writing to ask your permission to reproduce the emails we exchanged about the project, which I hope to include in the project documentation. This material will be published online along with a printed volume of critical texts.
As detailed in my most recent funding application, the project as a whole became about making overwork and burnout within the arts visible. These issues are not clearly articulated in single events, but accumulate over small increments.
I want to publish an archive of the email correspondence generated by the project as completely as possible as a way to show the quantity of work involved in the project, and also the intersection of work with personal life, which was more prevalent than ever during the pandemic.
I have attached the exact documents I wish to reproduce to this email. I do not intend to publish anything other than what is included below. Please read these over and let me know if you would consent to allow me to use these documents. If you do not consent, or want anything redacted, please let me know as well. I want to respect your wishes.
warm wishes,
Joshua Schwebel
