One year since the Supreme Court victory in the Ladies Lounge Appeal, ConMoto Group’s Catherine Scott and MONA’s Kirsha Kaechele were back together last week presenting a CPD at the Law Society of Tasmania.
The presentation “When the Law and Art Collide,” discussed the tension between the art and the law and how this drove (and at times derailed) the strategy behind this groundbreaking case.
The legal case contributed to Kirsha’s art installation becoming a beacon of strength and inspiration to women around the world – despite this not being the original intention of the piece. As lawyers we can (and probably should!) focus on the (of course always fascinating) nitty gritty of the law so Kirsha’s view was an interesting and refreshing insight into an artist’s perspective of the unique experience of court proceedings.
This was a once in a lifetime case that provided fun times with a bit of law on the way.
