Join the Center for Art Law in a discussion with Serpentine Galleries R&D Platform Legal Lab about legal design, art and tech collaboration.
Why would an art gallery in London be concerned with climate emergencies or legal design? Established 50 years ago, in 1970, the Serpentine Galleries makes it their business to explore connections between art and climate change, equality and education, new technologies and law. One of their initiatives, the Serpentine’s R&D Legal Lab, is testing and fostering forward-thinking legal solutions for the art field.
Spanning the globe, don't miss the discussion led by the Center for Art Law with attorneys Alana Kushnir in Melbourne, Marie Potel-Saville in Paris and Yayoi Shionoiri in New York, where we examine the notion of legal design and how the law can better support collaborations across art, science, and technology.
Speakers:
- Alana Kushnir, Founder and Director of Guest Work Agency and Principal Investigator of the Serpentine Galleries R&D Platform Legal Lab;
- Marie Potel-Saville, Legal designer and Founder of Amurabi; and
- Yayoi Shionoiri, Art lawyer and Executive Director to the Estate of Chris Burden and the Studio of Nancy Rubins.
Moderated by Irina Tarsis, Founder and Managing Director of the Center for Art Law.

About the Serpenting Legal Lab
Serpentine’s Legal Lab explores how the law can better support collaborations across art, science and technology. Led by lawyer, curator and founder of Guest Work Agency, Alana Kushnir, the Legal Lab is a space for investigating legal issues and prototyping accessible legal solutions for the art field. Legal structures and tools, such as contracts, are crucial to structuring innovative enterprises and effective operational models. However, in the sphere of art, there is a tendency to shy away from legally onerous forms of arrangement. This has resulted in legal infrastructures being under-acknowledged for their multifaceted potential in supporting cutting-edge creative practice. These concerns are present in the internal organisation of the art field and the expanding realm of cross-disciplinary relationships between art actors and external fields.
