COPYRIGHT & ART
What is the impact of copyright (and neighbouring rights) on the conditions for artistic production as well as on other art-related practices in modern societies like trading, conserving, exhibiting, performing, reproducing and distributing works of art or reproductions thereof in various media? And what is the particular relevance of art (and of aesthetic concepts, or theories of art) for copyright? Why should the dogmatics of copyright be concerned with aesthetics at all, and what function do aesthetic concepts fulfill in the conceptual structure of copyright and in the context of its legitimation? This workshop, bringing together various approaches from legal studies, economics, social and cultural studies with perspectives from philosophy, aesthetics, art criticism and artistic practice, pursues a double objective:
(1) To elucidate the impact of copyright on artistic practices and on aesthetic theories.
(2) To analyze the theoretical presuppositions about the nature of art, of artistic production and about the ontological constitution of the work of art that are implied in copyright legislations and jurisdiction — the implicit aesthetic theory of the law.
The focus lies on copyright problems of contemporary art and on tensions between copyright and the freedom of artistic expression as well as between copyright claims and the public interest.
