No Sell Out…or i wnt 2 b th ultimate commodity/machine (Malcolm X Pt. 2), X-PRZ, 1995
Copying, riffing off, sampling, and appropriation have become familiar strategies for artists in all media – but attention to copyright laws and content management has kept pace, and can be intimidating for artists to navigate. This panel will focus on emboldening artists to work with appropriated material, shedding light on Fair Use guidelines which have defined some best practices, but also present some limitations artists should be aware of. Moderated by Rebecca Cleman, Director of Distribution at Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI); with panelists, artists Kenseth Armstead and Kristin Lucas, and Professor of Law Brian L. Frye.
