Home Making and Art Making: Embodying Studio Shifts

This panel explores the role of home and hospitality in "post-studio" art practices. Art collectives such as Mildred's Lane and homeLA: a performance project are gathering in homes, transforming them into galleries or using bedrooms or backyards as sites of production and welcoming spectators into traditionally private spaces. How is the place of home as a studio transforming art practices? How is this re-configuring a definition of home? How are ideas of hospitality latent or projected through these projects?

In providing a forum for the discussion of the role of home and hospitality in art practices from the perspective of artists, makers, theorists, historians, and designers, this session aims to explore how artistic practices are perhaps re-negotiating home, hospitality and traditions of artist studios. Contributions from fields of art, design, art history, and art education are welcome.
