Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Opportunity at Oxford MOMA?

I think it's unlikely to be honest, though you're welcome to try. Because they're new works and often just photographs and/or digital works, maintaining artificial scarcity is crucial for the artists to be able to make any money. -----Original Message----- From: wikimediauk-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimediauk-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of River Tarnell Sent: 04 March 2010 7:56 PM To: wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Opportunity at Oxford MOMA? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the recent discussions about working with museums, I thought this was interesting: <http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/5034636.Gallery_gives_sneaky_snappers_an_amnesty/> As the museum in Pembroke Street gets ready to close for six weeks for refurbishment, staff are hunting for photographs taken surreptitiously in the gallery to keep it alive online while it is closed. Head of marketing Kirsty Kelso said: "We were going through Flickr and there were lots of visitors who had come to the gallery and taken their own photographs, despite signs saying 'no photography allowed'. "We were taken aback by how many people had taken them, but we were secretly quite pleased to see people making their own stories about the gallery." - river. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
