Students - 'Art & Copyright'
Guest Speaker: Dr. Grischka Petri, University of Bonn and University of Glasgow
This year’s Student Special Interest Session will focus on the important issue of art and copyright. As art historians we regularly reproduce images in our work, yet the copyright law governing this use of images is little-known and rarely discussed. This session is intended to offer insight and advice on the aspects of image copyright law that affect art historians. Dr. Petri will discuss the following topics:
- Image copyright and publication (print and internet)
- Image copyright and public presentation (conferences, educational lectures/seminars etc.)
- How to obtain image copyright (including copyright fees etc)
- The risks of not obtaining image copyright
- Copyright exempt image resources
Independents - Getting Freelance Work: How can the AAH help?
The Independent Group are planning to hold a Freelance Training Day in September 2010. The purpose of the day will be to give basic training in how to get freelance work and how to cope with the financial challenges. At this special session Sophie Bostock will lead a discussion by introducing an outline plan for that day. In addition we will review the working of the Directory of Freelance Art Historians, discussing ideas about how its working might be improved, and will consider any other ideas about how the AAH might provide further support to freelance workers. The meeting will be chaired by Dennis Wardleworth.
