Notes
This course is designed for students who are interested in the legal environment of the art world, and in the questions of jurisprudence reflected in art. The doctrinal portion of the course offers a survey of the ways in which legal doctrine, including Contracts, Tort, and Intellectual Property, affect working artists and art world professionals. The theoretical portion of the course connects fundamental inquiries of jurisprudence to art history and art theory. Law is an ideological system designed to achieve social and political ends. Art has had, historically, related ends. Artists have asked questions about justice, and have attempted to communicate and agitate for a vision of justice in their work. Through art historical inquiry, this course will offer students the chance to explore some of these artists and their work. A basic introduction to critical race theory, feminist theory, and other modern and post-modern challenges to mainstream thought is explored in this class through the lens of art and law.
