In this episode of Platemark, Ann talks with Yayoi Shionoiri, an arts lawyer and Vice President of External Affairs & General Counsel at Powerhouse Arts. Yayoi, who has over two decades of experience in art law, discusses her unique career path, from her initial interest in art history to working in law supporting artists and cultural workers. They talk about working together on the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair, the significance of transparency in art production, the evolving field of art law, and the intersections of technology and art, particularly generative AI. The conversation also highlights the collaborative and inclusive nature of the printmaking community, the impact of digital tools, and the fair's success in bringing together artists, students, and print enthusiasts.
