Buffet reception for lecture on starving artists
The IPKat's friend and scholar Professor Martin Kretschmer, of Bournemouth University, is giving his Inaugural Lecture down on the South Coast of England, at the University's Talbot Campus, Alsebrook Lecture Theatre, on 1 November 2006 at 6.30pm. The lecture is entitled "Escape from the Garret? Copyright and the Tale of the Starving Artist". By way of bait to tempt the prospective audience, Martin says:
"In 1841, Lord Macaulay claimed in a famous speech on copyright reform that there are only two ways in which creators can be remunerated: "One of those is patronage; the other is copyright." Unfortunately, he was wrong.".Left: from garret to parrot - food-filled still lives were the staple subject-matter for many a starving artist
For those who do not wish to starve, the lecture will be preceded by tea and followed by a buffet reception. To reserve a place, please contact Christine Reaks, Conference & Events Co-ordinator. Tel: 01202 961045; e-mail here.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
