“Studio Mates” Exhibition
Front Room Gallery
This event has ended.
“Studio Mates” seeks to explore the ways in which two artists in a shared creative space, influence each other. In the red-hot New York City real estate market, studio rents have become untenable for many artists. Shared studio space has become a necessity for artists wishing to maintain a studio practice. “Studio Mates” examines the positive effects of this scenario: ongoing conversations ranging from the minutia of discussions about materials and techniques, to larger questions concerning content, context and direction. These relationships have their own intimacy, nurtured by the creative dialogue and daily proximity to each other’s process. The “couples” in this show have shared studio space for a long time and maintain friendships outside the studio. The pairs of works were selected to highlight these points of connection and showcase the cross-pollination of ideas created by the studio-mate relationship.
