Foundation Lecture Series: Peter Handley- Between Two Studios (week 3)

In this week's foundation lecture, artist Peter Handley discussed his idea of the definition of a studio.  He began by describing a typical art studio, and soon spoke of how important technology is today, and how art and computers are related.  Handley said that "my studio is not my computer...but a filing cabinet, and every artist's 'first' studio is their head."  Perhaps the most interesting idea that Handley had during the entire speech was that artwork done on the computer is the most successful when the computer is doing the least of your art because it is not the location your work comes from.  I think that this can be very true, especially with the availability of computer programs, and how anyone can make a work of art.  The only thing that I wish Handley would have mentioned in his speech was the idea of a graphic designer, and that maybe their studio is at the computer (and other technologies).  Although this may be true, Handley summed up his lecture with saying that the studio is simply whereever you work, in which I completely agree.
