| Course description |
The course 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.
Aims of the Course:
1. To enable you to re-assess the function of the studio and the gallery in the production, distribution and consumption of contemporary art.
2. To generate a productive and supportive peer review environment that enhances your ability to elucidate your work and contribute to the development of contemporary art.
