The Artist's House: From Workplace to Artwork

The Artist's House: From Workplace to Artwork is not just a book about artists and their homes, it is a captivating prism that allows us to delve into the world of contemporary art and sculpture. Written by Kirsty Bell, this book takes you on a journey through the homes of living artists, exploring how their living spaces influence and intersect with their artistic practice.

By immersing ourselves in the stories and insights of artists such as Jorge Pardo, Mirosław Bałka, and Frances Stark, we gain a deeper understanding of the intimate connection between domestic architecture, interior spaces, and artistic expression. Bell's in-depth analyses are complemented by references to influential twentieth-century artists like Kurt Schwitters and Louise Bourgeois, providing a rich historical context for the exploration of art in the context of our everyday living spaces.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this book is the two-way flow between the artist's home and the exhibition space. It becomes clear that the everyday objects and experiences within the domestic arena play a significant role in shaping developments such as installation art, relational aesthetics, expanded collage, and performance art. The Artist's House: From Workplace to Artwork unravels the intricate web of influences and inspirations that transform a house into a work of art.
