Studio

March 2015 Issue 17

Contrary to the white cube, the artist’s studio is where the art object is vulnerable, not sacrosanct. It is touched, moulded, destroyed, built, lived and not merely displayed, subject to sanctioned iconoclasm and vandalism. The studio houses not-so-sublime back-stories of painstaking labour, paint-smeared overalls and the odd worn out desktop running on Windows XP. It is an incubation space: for ideas – tangible or intangible, art – material or immaterial, commodities – sellable or impending dismantlement. It is often treated as the assembly line for artworks. Then there are the apparent paradoxes that remind us that the studio and its constituents too have their aura, not just a charm. It is the temple for the process, and the process is no less. The process too is art.
