The Red Studio, 2014-2019
The studio is the body.
The studio is a body.
The studio is my body.
The studio is aBRASIve.
The studio is the universe.
The studio as matter.
The moving studio, transportable, transplantable.
The reverse.
The inside.
The red studio.
The studio at the edge of the skin.
The studio in the living flesh: skinned, scalped.
L’atelier rouge. And “the studio can also be hell”*.
ABRASIve sandpapers used by me and three other professionals in the renovation of my studio and residence were transplanted to the ISCP/NY studio in an artistic residency. Another body, another painting, another work. The studio as a place of tension, imagination, “exile”.
