Hallo everybody,
We have just started working with the Wiki Loves Public Art (WLPA)[1]
contest that will focus on getting pictures on sculptures, mosaics,
mural paintings, memorials and place
specific installments in the public space. If
you are interested in public art, enjoy organizing events, think that it
is cool and interesting to work with projects that increase cooperation
between the Chapters, or would like to work towards GLAM in your
country, well then this would be something for you! We are looking for
all kinds of volunteers and especially for national coordinators that
can help us get things going in the countries and coordinate the
volunteer efforts!
As
we don't want to intrude upon the fantastic Wiki Loves Monument contest we are
thinking about holding WLPA during the
month of May in 2013. However, May will hopefully give us enough time to work on this and
provide good enough weather
so that the pictures look nice and people think that it is fun to go out
and find the art works.
We are of course aware of the tricky copyright legislations in
different countries but thanks to the fact that this is organized
together with Europeana (
www.europeana.eu) we have the
possibility to use Europeana's team of judicial experts in finding out
answers on some of the questions. So if you have a question that is not
answered on Commons:Freedom of Panorama[2] please write up your
questions on relevant judicial matters on our list and we will forward
it to Europeana.[3]
Both me and the project leader, Lennart Guldbrandsson, will be at
Wikimania and we would love to met and talk to you about this in person!
I hope to hear from you soon!
All the best,
John
