Antonio Roberts

A two-part solo exhibition that took place at Birmingham Open Media from 23rd October 2015 to 23rd January 2016 and University of Birmingham from 2nd March - 30th May 2016. The exhibition featured a new body of digital, video, print and installation pieces developed as part of my residency at the University of Birmingham's Research and Cultural Collections and Fellowship at Birmingham Open Media. The pieces explore ideas of ownership, copyright and free culture - issues which are pertinent as online communities become more prolific and harder to police. Over the course of the exhibition a number of events took place that invited artists and the public to rethink ideas surrounding ownership and authorship in the digital age. Permission Taken was supported through public funding by Arts Council and with funding from University of Birmingham.
