'Who Makes and Owns Your Work?' is a multi-part event in Stockholm on sharing, distribution and intellectual property November 17, 2007 12:30-23:00 at Årsta Folkets Hus, Årsta torg.
Who owns the rights to artistic work in today’s information-based economy? How can one as an artist or producer of culture position oneself in relation to the existing regimes of copyright and the distribution of material and non-material products?
'Who Makes and Owns Your Work' has grown out of a year-long discussion held during the Open Content meetings which centred on ownership, distribution, copyright and forms of sharing within contemporary cultural and knowledge production. Through monthly meetings hosted by different organisations and a dedicated wiki site — whomakesandownsyourwork.org — the project has evolved to test conceptual and political implications of openness foregrounding specific proposals made by a loose network of artists and other cultural producers. The project was initiated in the autumn of 2006 by Maria Lind and Robert Stasinski of Iaspis together with London based artist Marysia Lewandowska and Stockholm based artists Goldin+Senneby.
