Once Upon A Time 2008

Editor: So, this is Fiona Banner’s piece, “Once Upon A Time”. It's text on paper, seemingly a colophon. It feels... bureaucratic and cold. What is your interpretation of it? Curator: It presents a fascinating commentary on authorship and ownership, doesn't it? The legal jargon, the copyright notice... it frames the creative act within systems of power. Consider how language itself can be a tool for control and how Banner is using this piece to expose this very tension. What does it make you question about the nature of art? Editor: I guess it makes me wonder who really owns a story. Curator: Exactly! And what are the implications of that?
