A STUDY TO ANALYSE THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING FINE ARTS AND DESIGN THESIS BASED ON ACTUAL STUDIO WORK

Abstract

Focusing on the methodological and productive functions of studios in London, this study investigates the contemporary art studio as a venue for individual creative acts and knowledge creation. Based on interviews with visual artists working in London and artefacts like sketchbooks, assemblages of objects, and prototypes, this article paints a picture of the artist's studio as a microcosm of their independent process of making art. One may argue that the studio provides valuable insights into the exploratory and experimental processes of producing, as well as the knowledge and abilities needed for visual artists to materialize their original concepts and goals. The article paints a picture of an artist's studio as a place of controlled chaos where completed works, unfinished ones, and the results of their study all coexist. One way of looking at the studio is as a place of discovery, where things like study materials, personal experiences, and artefacts are brought together in a way that makes people think. On the other hand, the studio is portrayed as a magical workshop where tactile interaction and magic abound, where physical labor is central to the methodology. It is a place where artists may consistently work on their trade until they master it physically and the process becomes natural. There is a productive and ambiguous tension in the studio that is built on the knowledge practices of thinking critically and engaging one's body, teaching and improvising; the studio is like a personal laboratory for experimentation and invention. This article examines the cultural economy and the trend towards economic individualization through the lens of creative production processes that are both unique and ever-changing. It delves into the ways in which creative microspaces are designed to foster experimenting, producing, and knowledge.
