Check out this fantastic article by Frank Martinez on the AIGA website regarding all the specifics about copy writes, your obligations as an artist, intellectual property and the difference between being “inspired by and stealing”.
Make you are staying in the “inspired by” category!
This weekend I jetted up to Boston, where we went to one of my favorite new museums, the Institute for Contemporary Art, Boston.
Saw a fantastic wall installation piece by Swoon as well as a cut-paper sculptural piece that hung next to the glass elevator – allowing viewers to peer in while going upstairs.
Other exhibits included furniture design by Roy McMakin and paintings by Charline von Heyl.
Architecturally, the ICA is amazing… a modern glass structure jetting out on the Boston Harbor. They even have a glass video room, where you feel enveloped in the water. . . a perfect place to put on headphones and watch some art videos.
Put this on your list if you are ever visiting Boston!
