Art After Law: Legal Issues and Artistic Projects

I’m giving a talk on Thursday, February 18th, at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Talk starts at 6:30 and is open to the public. In general I’ll be covering how my early installations led me to attend law school as an art project, and how Clancco serves as a model of art and law discourse. Here’s what I’ll cover:

How does law affect the making of art, and can art change the making of law? In this workshop, artist and lawyer Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento will talk about the interrelation between art and law. By focusing on his own art project which explores art and law, Clancco.com, Sarmiento will speak about the most common legal issues that arise in the implementation of art projects, including the most recent and controversial legal cases affecting the art world. Copyright and trademarks, right of privacy, contractual agreements and legal issues related to artist websites will be covered.
