[Remix Reading <rreading AT ibiblio.org>]

Hello,

Remix Reading is hosting a unique art exhibition in the Riverside Museum 
at Blake's Lock for the weekend of Friday 28th - Sunday 30th April, open from 
10am-4pm.

The exhibited artists won our competition that asked artists to remix either 
the town of Reading or existing works on the Remix Reading web site. Winning 
entries came from a wide range of individuals, from professional artists to 
children in a local refugee support group.

All of the works are released under Creative Commons licenses, which allow 
you 
to customise your copyright so others can use, share and remix you work. 
Remix Reading stands in the company of the Beastie Boys, Brazilian culture 
minister Gilberto Gil and many other supporters of Creative Commons in 
hosting this exhibition. Visitors are encouraged to create their own 
remixes of exhibited works and share them on our web site. It was the use of 
these licenses for the original works that allowed many of the exhibited 
artists to create their winning entries.

Ali Clark, curator, said: "The exhibition will be a celebration of the 
diverse 
culture of Reading, and of the creative freedom promoted by Remix Reading. I 
hope many people will be inspired to create and share their own remixes with 
the community."
