Here, Melbourne-based copyright lawyer, Sharon Givoni, considers how the laws relating to street art may be relevant to illustrators. She tries to make you “street smart” in an environment where increasingly such creations are not only tolerated, but even celebrated. 1 Street Art Melbourne, Lou Chamberlin, Explore Australia Publishing Pty Ltd, 2013, Comments made on the back cover. It canvasses: 1. copyright issues; 2. moral rights laws; and 3. the conflict between intellectual property and real property. Why this topic? One only needs to drive down the streets of Melbourne to realise that urban art is so ubiquitous that the city has been unofficially dubbed the stencil graffiti capital. Street art has rapidly gained momentum as an art form in its own right. So much so that Melbourne-based street artist Luke Cornish (aka E.L.K.) was an Archibald finalist in 2012 with his street art inspired stencilled portrait.1 The work, according to Bonham’s Auction House, was recently sold at auction for AUD $34,160.00.2 Stencil seen in the London suburb of Shoreditch. Photo Credit: Chris Scott Artist: Unknown It is therefore becoming increasingly important that illustra- tors working within the street art scene understand how the law (particularly copyright law) may apply.

  • Jesus, Queen of Heaven by Jo Clifford
    Theatre works And BEN ANDERSON present THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS, QUEEN OF HEAVEN BY JO CLIFFORD 30 APR - 8 may THEATRE WORKS 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WRITER’S NOTE | JO CLIFFORD When I first wrote and performed Queen Jesus in Glasgow, back in 2009, I was afraid people JESUS, QUEEN might find her dull. I was wrong about that. OF HEAVEN I was very frightened and distressed by all the hatred she inspired back then. Hatred that came in from all over the world. 30 APR - 8 mAY But the hate taught me her words mattered and I should work to keep her alive. THEATRE WORKS So I did. And I discovered that performing her was a powerful act of resistance against the 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA shame and fear that had possessed me since the time I was a child and knew that I wasn’t a boy. A shame that touches everybody. Because none of us quite measure up to the gender we’re supposed to be. And since then she’s helped many others resist in so many places in the world. All over the UK, all over Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Cabo Verde, Belfast, Brussels and Berlin. And here she is incarnate in the magnificent Kristen Smyth and opening in Melbourne. That is so wonderful. And opening to the same hatred, expressed in the same words, as in Glasgow. Because hatred cannot change. But love… love is creative. Love changes everything… DIRECTOR’S NOTE | KITAN PETKOVSKI I can still recall the emotional mess that I was upon reading Jo Clifford’s The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven.
