Events

Organised by The Henry Moore Institute and the Akademie der Kuenste

This one day conference, designed to accompany the Raum exhibition, looks at the ways that studios have been exhibited in the art gallery and museum. In the morning there will be presentations by representatives of the reconstructed studios of Brancusi, Bacon and Paolozzi, that will open up discussion of ‘studio reconstruction’ today through the particular issues - spatial, architectural, archaeological, biographical and site-related - faced by each of these case studies. In the afternoon, there will papers given by three curators who have all organised exhibitions that have examined the studio as a subject for enquiry for both art history and for contemporary practice. Together these conference papers will ask what a studio is today, looking at why and how it has been variously restaged, installed and reframed within the walls of the art gallery and museum.
