A Girlfriend's Letter in Court - a Discussion on Art Copyright

Date: Sept 16 - 2 pm

Venue: Ullens Center for Contemporary Art

Price: Free

Part of the ongoing exhibition "Zhao Bandi: China Party," A Case of Love Gone Wrong for Pandaman is a video satire starring artist Zhao Bandi. The piece was made in response to two media outlets' misuse of a photo by the artist. In the video, Zhao reads aloud a letter from his supposed long-distance "girlfriend," who expresses numerous doubts as to the authenticity of the disputed photograph. The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) invites renowned collector and lawyer Liu Gang, and artist Zhao Bandi to discuss the issue of art copyright. When a piece of art is illegally duplicated or plagiarized, how can the original artist appeal to the law? What does the process of copyrighting art entail? What happens when a copyrighted artwork is used outside of its intended purpose? The language of this discussion is Chinese.
