On the phone
A (curatorial assistant at the Center for Contemporary Art calling security company): Hello. I would like to know if it is possible for an artist who is working on a project at the Center for Contemporary Art to do an interview with one of the security guards at the new estate?
B (marketing department at security company): You have to speak to the management of the estate about that. They have to send us permission for the guard to talk about the estate.
A: Then I have to wait for that? How long do you think that will take?
B: I don't know. But if they agree to letting you interview the guard, he will be accompanied by the safety manager of the estate and then he can answer some strictly specified questions. But first you have to get permission from the management of the estate.
A (calling management): Hello. I am calling from the museum and I would like to know if it is possible for one of our artists to interview one of your security guards.
B (management): Hmm...Well, you have to write a written application to our administration department. And then you have to wait for their response.
A: Do you know how long that will take?
B: No. But you must understand that we have to protect ourselves, there has been a lot of focus on the estate in the media. It has been described in the newspapers and it has also been on television. So we have to protect ourselves.
