Whose art is it anyway?
This update will first explore the background of the Visual Artists Rights Act. Additionally, the substance of the legislation and possible ambiguities will be addressed. Finally, the conclusion will set forth the probable impact that this statute will have on our society. As it pertains to this public art project completed in summer of 2007, before the school closure.
On December 1, 1990, President Bush signed into law the Visual Artists Rights Acr of 1990. This legislation amends the Copyright Act of 1976 to recognize the moral rights inherent in paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and still photographic images produced for exhibition purposes only. The concept of moral rights was developed in eighteenth-century France and is commonly referred to as an artist's personal right to control his or her creation. Thus, an artist can possess two fundamental rights in an artistic creation: (1) pecuniary; and (2) personality.
The pecuniary right invested in a work of art is protected by the Copyright Act and a host of state statutory and common law concepts in property and contract law.
The personality right inherent in an artistic creation will now be protected by the Visual Artists Rights Act.
This project will be executed during the Bronzeville Art District 2018 Trolley Tours, by the Phantom Gallery Chicago Network and used as an incentive for artists/residents to implement as a project for the ongoing cultural planning/programming.
How? by facilitating neighborhood participation in cultural activities in the Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tours. This popup cinema happened on July 20th during the Trolley, in the empty storefront at 436 E.47th Street. And will happen again on September 22nd, on the external landscape of Overton Elementary School during the 8 X 3: Architecture, at dusk.
Chicago Pedestrian Plan
Make it easier to install temporary uses in vacant properties. Temporary measures are needed to improve inactive surfaces to promote pedestrian security. Actions: (Short Term) Encourage owners of vacant properties to activate their sites with public art and temporary improvements such as having the Chicago Modern Orchestra Project and host outdoor performances and drive-in Pop-up film screenings as cinema.
Encourage Community Placemaking “Great places in Chicago can only be developed through partnerships with the people that will use them and those that plan and design them.”
Integrate Art into Pedestrian Spaces: Encourage temporary/rotating art exhibits, performances, film, youth open mic in public space, in conjunction with artists, art organizations, and art partnerships in the Bronzeville Art District.
