Art and Law Research Group

Description

Members of this group develop streams of research which focus on the intersection between art and the legal discipline.

The group's research activities are developing in a number of directions, such as:

• the analysis of the copyright and intellectual property framework aims to question regulatory assumptions and current solutions to the call for digital preservation, archiving and dissemination of cultural objects and art content via innovative platforms;
• probing theoretical and actual debates around how law can influence perceptions of order, disorder, intellectual and real ownership, what is beautiful and ugly, therefore what is right and wrong, protest or law;
• engaging with artists working on law and lawyers working on art as a methodological and pedagogical tool in legal research and undergraduate and postgraduate tiers of education;
• how expression cuts through legal and illegal acts, demonstrating artistic creation as a form of protest and social involvement, as well how law is ensconced in its own performative legal aesthetics;
• understanding how art could be useful as a tool within the criminal justice system and legal system as a whole, in rehabilitation and beyond.
