The Public’s Domain: Transforming Iconic Works of Fiction and Sound
|
On view through December 20 | Bobst Library, 1st Floor Gallery |
Good artists copy, great artists wait for works to enter the public domain. Every year, creative works that were previously protected by copyright law in the United States enter into the public domain, which allows artists to build upon, copy, and share the work for free. Curated by Giana Ricci, Librarian for the Fine Arts and Head of the Arts, Performance, and Humanistic Inquiry department at NYU Libraries, The Public’s Domain: Transforming Iconic Works of Fiction and Sound features artistic pieces that remix, reuse, adapt, and transform works of creative expression that entered the public domain in 2025.

The River That Flows Both Ways |
Now on View | Bobst Library, 10th Floor North Reading Room |
The River That Flows Both Ways showcases a series of compelling and contemplative ceramic works by visual artist and NYU professor Jacqueline Bishop in her pursuit of commemorating the buried, interlinked histories of the Lenape lands on which most of NYU’s New York campus is located. Featuring archival collage digitally printed on six porcelain plates, The River That Flows Both Ways illuminates the early encounters of African enslaved laborers brought into Indigenous communities by European settlers during the 1600s. These complex interactions and intricate trade routes are juxtaposed with architectural landmarks alongside the flora and fauna native to New York.
