Studio Score (Part of Sensus Communis)

Sensus Communis: The circumstances of the artists associated with their workshops are very diverse. At a time when it is difficult to occupy even a square meter of residential space due to unequal economic and social conditions, artists who own or rent studios to produce art have continued to walk a tightrope between thought and reality. How is it possible to do what you want? Depending on the type of work and socio-economic conditions, the occupation method, space size and use are very different. - Studio Score: Artists experience physical and movement perception in space and time, right in the studio. The place is used, the body is treated as an important element and the boundary between art and life is broken, leading to new aesthetic experiences.
