The AALS Section on Art Law invites presentation proposals for its panel at the AALS Annual Meeting, to be held January 2-5, 2014.
In the vein of conversations about Access to Knowledge (A2K) and Access to Medicines (A2M), this panel will explore various legal dimensions of A2A: Access to Art. A2A is an umbrella term for the trend seeking to make art more accessible to the general public in a variety of ways: through technologies enabling the reproduction and distribution of works; through the creation of new transformative works, such as remixing and sampling; through new museum models; and through individual projects such as the Google Art Project. The consequences of A2A are of interest to a broad segment of society, including both producers and consumers of content. The legal issues associated with A2A can be complex, and participants in this panel will seek to explore those issues as they relate to intellectual property laws and limitations.
Deadline: April 15, 2013.
Presentation proposals should be sent to Megan Carpenter at mcarpenter[@]law.txwes.edu. im
