160 ARTISTS STUDIOS ON VIEW AT EXIT ART THROUGH MARCH 25

EXHIBITION Critics, curators, collectors and friends regularly visit artists studios, The Studio Visit reveals this intimate experience to a greater public. For the exhibition, Exit Art invited a group of national and international artists to make a short video on the subject of their studio with the purpose of exposing a fragment of their personal space and modus operandi. The video camera becomes the eye of the artist - recording and revealing the personal items he/she finds interesting and important to show to the public. The 160 featured videos are all exceptionally diverse; from straightforward documentation of the studio to short fictional narratives to feats of performance to computer animation to 24 hour stop motion video of daily routines. The videos are presented throughout the gallery as projections and on single channel monitors.
