I’m thrilled to be heading to Miami at the end of this week for this excellent conference, organized by Cornell Law School and Art & Law Program Director Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento:

Poetic Justice:
On the Intersection of Art and Law in the Work of
Félix González-Torres

Thursday, February 11, 2016

de la Cruz Collection
23 NE 41st Street, Miami, FL 33137
(305) 576-6112

Since the beginning, Félix González-Torres‘ art and activist work have received substantial academic and institutional attention. However, in the last few years, there has been a growing scholarly interest in González-Torres’ art works and the ways in which they are informed by law and juridical structures. Through the intersection of conceptual art strategies and legal instruments, González-Torres’ art works complicate and expand our understanding of what constitutes the art object, the ownership, exhibition and dissemination of art, and the public’s relationship to art and art institutions.

This symposium brings together scholars with backgrounds in law, art history and cultural history, as well as collectors and contemporary artists, in order to analyze the work of Félix González-Torres and its impact on the emerging field of art and law. This will be a unique opportunity for researchers, art historians, curators, artists, students and lawyers interested in art and law and the work of Félix González-Torres to meet and discuss their mutual interests.  The symposium is organized by Cornell Law School and the Art & Law Program and the de la Cruz Collection.
