FAIR USE is a multimedia exhibition at Columbia College Chicago's Glass Curtain Gallery that sets out to foster critical discussion about intellectual property rights. The exhibition looks at how contemporary artists and designers challenge proprietary cultural material through its appropriation, reconfiguration and redistribution.
The recent strategies of open-source and "copyleft" licensing serve to encourage collaboration and innovation through the free sharing of information. Together these two paradigms form a critique of the conventional modes of distribution and ownership to imagine a more fluid and inclusive economy of cultural meanings.
Participating artists include:
Guy Ben-Ner
Bea Correa
Line Langballe and Christina Okai Mejborn of Totem Collective
Sze Lin Pang
Pratchaya Phintong
Seth Price
Kay Rosen
Carson Salter and Snowden Snowden
