Description
Art exhibitions, in cultural institutions and/or public spaces, face growing interferences by governments, patrons, and/or lobbies regarding their content, scientific organisation, financing, and even their existence. The purpose of this session is to analyse such interferences, describe their legal grounds and goals, and explore the means to address them legally (freedom of speech, copyright, public financing law, etc.).
