The image of a tortured genius working in near isolation has
long dominated our conceptions of the artist's studio. Examples
abound: think Jackson Pollock dripping resin on a cicada carcass in
his shed in the Hamptons. But times have changed; ever since Andy
Warhol declared his art space a "factory," artists have begun to
envision themselves as the leaders of production teams, and their
sense of what it means to be in the studio has altered just as
dramatically as their practices.
"The Studio Reader "pulls back the curtain from the art world to
reveal the real activities behind artistic production. What does it
mean to be in the studio? What is the space of the studio in the
artist's practice? How do studios help artists envision their
agency and, beyond that, their own lives? This forward-thinking
anthology features an all-star array of contributors, ranging from
Svetlana Alpers, Bruce Nauman, and Robert Storr to Daniel Buren,
Carolee Schneemann, and Buzz Spector, each of whom locates the
studio both spatially and conceptually--at the center of an art
world that careens across institutions, markets, and disciplines. A
companion for anyone engaged with the spectacular sites of art at
its making, "The Studio Reader "reconsiders this crucial space as
an actual way of being that illuminates our understanding of both
artists and the world they inhabit.
