The REMIX Culture: Appropriation Art and Fair Use in the Digital Age
A PANEL DISCUSSION
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
6:30-8p.m at Photo Eye Gallery
photo-eye Gallery is pleased to announce part three of our Summer Lecture Series presented in collaboration with New Mexico Lawyers for the Arts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing artists and arts organizations with pro bono legal assistances and educational programming.
As issues of appropriation and remixing increasingly flood our culture, copyright infringement lawsuits are on the rise. In the final part of our Art Law series, a range of experts from across the legal, business and creative realms of art (an attorney, a dealer, an arts consultant and an appropriation artist), will discuss the creative methods and ideas associated with appropriation in art today.
Using the facts from the high profile Cariou vs Prince appropriation case, the panel will discuss the importance of appropriation and forms of visual referencing in our culture, the differences between transformative works and infringement and whether current copyright laws provide sufficient protection while preserving an artist's freedom to reference the work of others.
All events are free and open to the public on a first come, first serve basis.
Panelists:
Benjamin Allison: a copyright and trademark lawyer at Sutin Thayer & Browne PC in Santa Fe, where his practice also includes commercial and art litigation.
