The best part of the China China China! exhibit at Florence’s Strozzina is the reading room: unlike all the boring, walk-by-and-out-the-door reading rooms you see at every art exhibit in the world, this particular room captivated us. Why? Because there was a photocopier in the room – a wonderful breach of copyright law, an encouragement to copy and steal and – most importantly – to sit and read the books. Which is exactly what I did, even though I would never do it without the photocopier. And it’s not because we made lots of illegal copies: in fact, we flipped through nearly a dozen books on Chinese art and only made one copy. This was just another example of how making information free and open encourages consumption, expands markets, and ultimately fosters consumers who are better informed, more curious and much, much more likely to support the arts.
