I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 5: …Maybe the opera is worse.
Because this was a paper for law, I wrote a very lengthy footnote about how I am a member of the union, blah, blah, blah and it is in my interest to provide more artists with control and no one asked for an NDA. I feel this will suffice here. The fact that nothing changed…
I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 4: Boom, baby
The immediate outcome of this trial was that the Opera would be required to include the auxiliary choristers in collective bargaining. The Opera renegotiated their contract with AGMA in 2012. While no one was obligated to report on the proceedings – and, as such, there is no official report— the finalized agreement is available to…
I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 3: “You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
There are a number of implications with this case that range from the engagement of a volunteers, to an employees right to self-determine their representation, to the NLRBs right to intervene. A number of these issues are addressed above, but the elephant in the room is the rights the individual employee has to control the…
I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 2: Law Facts
In an effort to highlight the problems inherent in a system of boilerplate contracts, the paper will focus in detail on a single set of legal action. In 2002, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals heard a case between Seattle Opera and the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA). Appropriately enough for the…
I wrote an 11 page paper about the problems with unions, Part 1: A crash course
Each market is different, but in any major metropolis there is a juncture at which an actor, dancer, musician, or stage manager (henceforth, the artist) must decide whether to pursue work as a union member, or not. There are challenges inherent with each. Union members face limitations on employment and more specific regulations onstage and…
Controversial Art, Part 4: TL;DR
This is part of a series about controversial art that pulls from an academic paper I wrote. Marketing theory suggests that if we are able to prove a benefit will be provided to the consumer as a result of viewing controversial material, consumers are more likely to take the content in. Researchers, educators, artists, journalists,…
Controversial Art, Part 3: How-to
This is part of a series of posts talking about how the law interacts with tattoo art and what happens when other art gets involved. I’m still not a lawyer. The short answer: don’t focus on the controversy itself, or the PR it generates; focus on the benefits of working with the subject and the…
Controversial Art, Part 2: “Art must be allowed to provoke”
This is part of a series about controversial art that pulls from an academic paper I wrote. There was an intro paragraph to this section, but I can’t imagine leading this section with anything but this story: One of my favorite parts of this paper is the example of Afro-Swedish sculptor Makode Linde. Linde is…
Because of the recent press about Trumbull High School’s cancellation and uncancellation, and possibly copyright violation (Howard Sherman covers it beautifully here and in a few other posts prior to that one), there’s been a bit of chatter around arts admin social media regarding the production of controversial art. It feels like a good time to…
This is part of a series of posts talking about how the law interacts with tattoo art and what happens when other art gets involved. I’m still not a lawyer. So we’ve established that tattoos are art. I take my body art pretty seriously, as do all of the tattooers I’ve come into contact with,…
Bodies of Artwork (Part 3 of 4)
This is part of a series of posts talking about how the law interacts with tattoo art and what happens when other art gets involved. I’m still not a lawyer. See the intro here. Part 2 is here. So the big story here is obviously the blockbuster movie that didn’t seem to hit a single…
Bodies of Artwork 2 of 4
This is part of a series of posts talking about how the law interacts with tattoo art and what happens when other art gets involved. I’m still not a lawyer. Tattoos have existed in their present form for 5,200 years (Lineberry). In modern Western society, the term body art is synonymous with tattooing, which indicates…
