Dog Days is Go
Museum of Who Let Who Let the Dogs Out Out Brings Pop Culture and Intellectual Property Law to the Providence Public Library
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Baha Men's global pop sensation, Who Let the Dogs Out, OPEN presents Museum of Who Let Who Let the Dogs Out Out, an archive of research materials collected by Providence-based artist Ben Sisto during the development of Who Let Who Let the Dogs Out Out, a decade-long examination of intellectual property law and cultural production. WOOF! The exhibition features some 300 items including shirts, records, books, magazines, novelty toys, and other primary source materials which together, gently nudge-back against the concept of individual authorship in favor of a view that art is a collective process.
This show is part of Dog Days 2025 and is accompanied by film screenings in Providence, Boston, and Montpilier.
