About us
Open Studio’s aim is to nurture an ecology of production and critique using the intimacy of the artists’ studio and the scope of international collaboration. Exposed to the generative habits of a large community of peers, students are able to see their own work as part of a global narrative.
The three main arms of the website pass information between the studios, the project page, and the magazine, letting ideas cross-germinate. Anyone who accepts the invitation to ‘curate a show’ using works from the existing studios will feel the connections existing between the practices of students on opposite sides of the globe.
