EASL's International Law and Fine Arts Committees together with Center for Art Law are pleased to offer a special studio visit. 

Join us for an evening in-studio discussion with artist Heide Hatry as she presents select works from her latest series Icons in Ash, a collection of portraits painted using human ash. Confronting the conceptual and practical challenges that exist between the past and the present, the permissible and the forbidden, Ms. Hatry’s art created using animal and human remains forces viewers to question the ways in which we interact with mortality and memory. For our purposes, Ms. Hatry's techniques and experiences with law enforcement provide a platform for a well rounded art/law discussion. For example, her most recent works display a highly innovate process of embedding human remains into beeswax, Hatry’s work raises questions about patenting artistic processes, legality of disposal of human remains, health considerations when using unconventional materials. 

Heide Hatry grew up on a pig farm in the south of Germany. From a competitive gymnast to an art school teacher to an antiquarian bookseller to curator to an artist, Ms. Hatry evolved into an tireless experimental artists. Since moving to New York in 2003, she has curated numerous exhibitions and has shown her own work at museums and galleries around the world. She has adopted atypical mediums of producing artwork that include the use of animal flesh and organs to produce objects that resemble roses or an entire room made out of pig skin. Her book Skin was published by Kehrer, Heidelberg, in 2005, Heads and Tales and Not a Rose by Charta, Milan/New York in 2009 and 2012 and Icons in Ash by Station Hill Press, Barrytown, NY in 2017. Icons in Ash aims to reorient our understandings of life and death by effectively merging them on canvas.

Members of EASL and the Center for Art Law are cordially invited to the home studio of Heide Hatry, an internationally acclaimed artist who works with unconventional materials to create mesmerizing and deeply thoughtful multi-media artworks (photographs, sculptures, and mosaics) that challenge our perception of permanent and transient. Guests will have an unique opportunity to explore a home studio for an intimate viewing of and discussion of patent and health laws that come into play when Ms. Hatry creates and transports her works or materials across state and national borders. Other legal themes to be discussed may include civil disobedience and municipal laws. 

After the viewing, guests are invited to join in a lively discussion on topics of patent and health law moderated by Irina Tarsis, a founding director of the Center for Art Law. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
