Copy this Workshop is an interactive workshop in which you discover the concepts underlying intellectual property and how they apply in your practice. How do you get copyright? For what work?

Price: 15 Euros, 25 Euros with a copy of Copy this book
Artists and designers today are increasingly confronted with legal issues. Legally speaking, popular artistic strategies such as citation and appropriation can amount to copyright infringement. Even well-established artists aren’t always aware of the implications of copyright, as was demonstrated in the high-profile case of Belgian painter Luc Tuymans, who infringed upon photographer Katrien van Giel’s copyright. Given the increasing ease with which images circulate, it becomes ever more necessary for artists to apprehend the legal status of their works. As new EU legislation pushes online platforms globally towards automated scanning of uploads (Article 13), artists are more likely to be impacted when their artistic creation oversteps legal boundaries.
In the workshop we will explore the different ways artists and designers can resolve such conflicts, including options that are neither as costly nor as time consuming as lawsuits.
Another vital role of copyright for artists and designers is the leverage it provides when negotiating with publishers, agents and other intermediaries. Having others represent you as an artist requires a copyright deal. Copy This Workshop will introduce the different possible types of copyright licensing and assignment available.
Through a mixture of a presentation, sharing of knowledge and interactive workshop with Eric Schrijver the author of Copy this Book, an artist’s guide to copyright (Onomatopee, 2018). You will also learn by sharing your experiences and knowledge of the market with the other participants. You are encouraged to bring an object or work you have created in order to understand the possibilities and limitations of IP protection and exploitation.
If you are a creative professional or recent graduate who wants to gain more information about your professional rights when it comes to copying and being copied, this workshop is a must for you. It’s also relevant to artists & designers who want to understand their rights when negotiating with clients, galleries, publishers and distributors.
Keep in mind spaces are limited for this workshop! So make sure to book your place far in advance!

How do you create an original expression? That’s not simply an artistic question, it’s a legal question. In an audio-visual performance, Eric Schrijver will show artistic creation as it happens in from the perspective of the law, charting exactly the threshold of originality, where ideas become expressions; and, on the other hand, where incidental reproduction and abstract inspiration become infringements of the rights of others.
