STUDIOvisits had been unfolded between July 2011 and August 2015.
Since August 2015 STUDIOvisits functions as a series of informal encounters and intra-actions among human beings, ideas, artworks, concepts, drafts, texts, words, sounds, animals, insects and other human and non-human creatures within the space of the artist´s studio....
CONCEPT
STUDIOvisits is the artist´s studio –both physical and conceptual- that visits… STUDIOvisits´ vehicles are concepts, texts, objects, ideas, processes moving/migrating/translating around in reciprocal directions. STUDIOvisits´ itineraries are translocal. STUDIOvisits´ desire is to transfer, postpone and prolong the processes of reflection upon concepts and objects that surround and construct the so called „artwork“. STUDIOvisits is a thought- and praxis-based artistic enterprise that aims to overcome the reduction of the „artwork“ to a mere commodity that follows the laws of the (art) market.
PRAXIS
STUDIOvisits is a project of encounters taken in random intervals between artists, theorists, poets,
architects and other art workers.
STUDIOvisits ´ starting point is the desire to find new formats that will communicate both the process
and the outcome of artistic concepts. The departure area of STUDIOvisits is the artist’s workspace.
STUDIOvisits intends to elaborate through encounters a network of artists, theorists and architects
that will deal with the spatio-temporal discourses and processes of the artistic work within our sociopolitical present.
Thus, the work of art becomes a common topos for discursive and process-based exchange.
These encounters might take the form of a one-to-one discussion, a three-day presentation/exhibition, a workshop,
a collaborative piece of art, a book, an open discussion...
STUDIOvisits poses the question of whether it is possible for artists to re/generate through collaboration and exchange
the (sociopolitical, aesthetic) value of their work.
