Hey Jannette, Since the person requesting the use of the images is (or was) under contract with the museum, what was specified under the terms of the contract? Did the intellectual property of the installation design remain with the designer or was it transferred to the institution?
This situation will probably influence the content of our contracts, since almost anyone doing design work on contract has a web presence to promote their work and would want to be able to add their design/image/product to their portfolio.

Good afternoon! I'd just like to take a quick poll to see how many of the institutions on this list provide high resolution installation photos to exhibition designers. If so, do you charge the designer for use of the images? In our case, both instances (photography and design) are works for hire, but the designer would like to use the images in a printed portfolio or website for promotional use. If you reply off-list, I can summarize the responses for everyone.
