| Course description | This course will enhance your ability to research, analyse, produce and exhibit your practice in relation to cultures of the studio. It encourages you to reconsider what sort of space a 'studio' is as a site of production in the contemporary art world and to speculate on what it might become. You are encouraged to explore you how the studio impacts upon your practice and to examine opportunities in
the ever expanding range of activities and infrastructures behind artistic production today. |
