The Art of Appropriation and Intellectual Property
02/05/2019    
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Many notable modern and contemporary artists use pre-existing objects or images from logos and advertising, to celebrity portraits for example in their work to challenge the ways we engage with art. Appropriation often raises questions of originality, authenticity and authorship. What are the bounds of appreciation versus appropriation? How do the principles of intellectual property protect against or encourage appropriation in art?  This talk discusses how appropriation manifests itself in visual art, shifting our understanding of creativity and the meaning of ownership.
Global Cities and Their Discontents
09/05/2019    
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
A collaboration between Public Books and SFMOMA’s Public Knowledge initiative, this discussion explores the impacts of globalization with an eye to the specific San Francisco Bay Area context. How do the consequences of global capital in San Francisco from hyper-gentrification to sea-level rise reflect challenges for cities around the world? How does San Francisco’s tech-based knowledge economy create greater disparities and complexities in addressing injustice? Can a city be reclaimed through its public spaces and institutions? Can discourse, neighborhood advocacy, and activism revitalize our civic imagination? Panelists include Saskia Sassen, Teresa Caldeiras, and Sophie Gonick.
