Fair Use & Contemporary Art: A Panel Discussion

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion that will explore the creative methods and ideas associated with fair use in contemporary art. The concept of fair use, described as the right to use another’s copyrighted material, under certain circumstances, for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder is a contentious issue in the art world today. Joy Garnett, New York painter and writer who is featured in Picture Takers, will moderate the panel. Participants include Nicole Fleetwood, Associate Professor of American Studies at Rutgers University, Nate Harrison, New York artist and writer, Chad Rutkowski, a partner with the law firm of Woodcock Washburn in Philadelphia, and Penelope Umbrico, New York artist featured in Picture Takers.
