thoughts on picturing the studio at tom moody
The degree to which museums fetishize the studios of “made” artists (e.g., MOMA’s recreation of Pollock’s meager barn) is inversely proportional to the decline of studio practice generally….Two places where the studio could be said to have moved in the absence of the above conditions: 1. The workplace or “day job situs” (text, photoshop collages, and animations made during “downtime” and posted from work computers–not by me of course); 2. The internet – use of a blog as a publishing platform – “virtual exhibitions.”
