In the studio. Space, work, myth
Overview
Intro
With works by Matthew Barney, Mirko Baselgia, Flurin Bisig, Klodin Erb, Stefan Gritsch, Maude Léonard-Contant, Catrin Lüthi K, Paul McCarthy, Adrian Paci
The studio has always been regarded as a projection surface: a place of retreat, of inspiration - a space of intimacy and public attribution at the same time. Alberto Giacometti coined this topos with his sparse, almost mythical studio. Andy Warhol's Factory, on the other hand, turned the studio into a social space in which art, production and society merged. Today, the studio can be a factory, a collective workspace in which art is created from visible processes. For many contemporary artists, the studio is no longer just a physical space, but also a screen, an interface, a digital network. At the same time, the studio itself has repeatedly become a motif, a stage for artistic work. The exhibition sheds light on different ideas, myths and realities of the studio by combining works from the collection with a selection of video works by Klodin Erb, Paul McCarthy and Adrian Paci, among others. They show the studio as a global production site, a space for thought and a place of imagination - and at the same time as a place where the romantic image of the artist's space is ironically broken and questioned. The studio also appears as a space of longing whose significance is in a state of flux: How do globalization and digitalization affect the production of artistic work in the studio? How do the ideas of the studio still shape the self-image of artists today? Who works in the studio today - and who only dreams of it?
