CARFAC Saskatchewan has a great thought spots resource section on their website, linking to some online resources on topics like copyright, copyleft and appropriation art.

I’ve been avoiding blogging about Doris’s Crack because…well, everyone else has already blogged about it. But the quotes from today’s New York Times article about the Crack are too good to ignore.

Also see:

• The Art Law Blog, Nov 27 and Dec 12
• Coxsoft Art News, Oct 8, Oct 10 and Nov 26
• Sculpture Community, “wise crack” thread

The Art Law Blog and Merlion at the Sculpture Community have picked up on the New York Times article about Richard Prince’s latest show. I’m intellectually intrigued by the definitions of authorship and creativity that Prince’s work challenges… but am extremely concerned by his email to the Times which indicated he “never associated advertisements with having an author“. Creative reuse of artwork (aka appropriated art) is a longstanding tradition, and it seems a statement like that from a high-profile artist has potential of harming the legitimacy of the practise.
