Studio Practice

Sorry for not being part of the discussion last week.
Here's my reflexion on my reading:

Have you ever thought about being a visual artist WITHOUT a studio?
Have you ever thought about building a brick wall in front of the gallery where you have an openning? Who can enter????
Have you ever thought about going to the police office and telling them that someone stole your art work ( without having an artwork) taking the police document, framing it and putting it in a show because you had no idea what to create for that show?
Have you ever thought about recreating the exact same show as the one next door to your gallery in Paris, reproduction of the paintings, the prices, the installation, all that at the same time as the other "original" show?
Have you ever thought you could be one of the most famous artist in the world with these kind of interventions? Maurizio Cattelan neither! But here he is today in is 2 bedrooms appart in New York city without any studio. Is best friend, only family and love: is cell phone. All the time being in contact with collectors, managers, directors and so on, he builds his career on what people as to offer to him and then he creates!
Creating doesn"t meen touching, building, manipulating, sanding, painting or printing for Cattelan. It meens having an idea : "I see that art has a great potential to refer to a broader debate, to go out there and reach an incredible audience."The most important sculptures created by Maurizio are physically made by Daniel Druet, a master of moulage who did several scultures for Cattelan like JFK, The Pope, Hitler.
Reading this article changes my vision of a studio practice. We spend so many hours in the studio without nowing who will really see the work. Maurizio spend the major part of his time finding where and WHO IS GOING TO COMMISION his creations...............and then he creates!
