This is a two-day workshop (16-17th December) in which we aim to explore the philosophical foundations of artistic rights along three main axes: (i) the nature of artistic authorship and the artist-work relationship; (ii) the role of the artist’s authority in artistic creation and work completion; (iii) the ontological and normative foundations of the artist’s authority in connection to social values.
The event will take place at Edificio de Humanidades UNED, Madrid – Sala B, from 10am to 17:45pm. It will also be streamed online. Attendance is free and open to all, but if you wish to attend online please email us at metis@fsof.uned.es at least two days in advance.
