I’m working with non-art student and art lover who wants to hone her skills in image curation. What she wants to do is create an exhibition of images from books and other sources that she would then blow up and present at her student exhibition.
At this point she want to include a variety of images, both historic and contemporary images that reflect the notion of ways we see, perception and sight (she’s in cognitive psychology). She asked me about copyright in exhibiting the blown up images and
my first thoughts were educational use (she will credit all images, it won’t be displayed on the web, not for profit; no money is collected etc.). One of her profs suggested she look for old non-copyrighted material (easier said than done) but it was clear
in her context this would severely limit creative flow.
Has a similar copyright question come up with your students? Or does anyone have some general thoughts on this scenario? If so, I would appreciate hearing your comments!
