I welcome a conversation around this idea of the studio as system: do artists still tend to work in a hermetically sealed studio environment or are we moving towards a more open system of connection and communication as integral to the studio act? This was the call-to-action in the 1970s around conceptual or post-studio art: how is this idea of openness revised today in the context of the network?
