The Case for Appropriation: Rob Storr

Rob Storr provides a clear introduction and overview of the historical and contemporary issues around artists and appropriation specifically 'originality', appropriation and Modernism (February 2012 SVA panel). These are similar tensions to what the open educational movement are experiencing in terms of use are reuse in open educational practice and teaching practice.
