Having had in the past a couple of issues with my own work, I am not
surprised. I know that unfortunately, the Swiss can sometimes be lax about
showing artists videos without prior consent, therefore without paying
artist fees. I would venture to say that for some galleries, it is
considered uncool to have to negotiate authorizations for every screening..
I would call KIG if they do not respond to your emails. Commercial galleries
are not at their best with email etiquette. Should they not be understanding
on the phone, you would be in a position to distribute broadly the case.
