The Studio, an art show examining the role of the artist's studio in the creative process opens Friday 1 December at the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane in Dublin, Ireland. Inspired by the studio of Irish painter Francis Bacon which is housed at the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, The Studio features works by Andy Warhol, John Baldessari, Thomas Demand, Urs Fischer, Martin Kippenberger, Paul McCarthy, Bruce Nauman, Dieter Roth and Wolfgang Tillmans. The show will explore the changes in the significance of the artist studio in a cultural moment where the art world becomes more idea-based and less about skill. The gallery will also host a symposium "Beyond the Studio" on the role of the artist's studio in creative production today featuring various internationally renowned artists, curators and critics. A publication featuring photography of the installations of all the works in the show as well as writings by curators Jens Hoffmann and Christina Kennedy will be available from the museum's bookshop and online.

by Tisha Leung Getting back to basics, curator and former Tokion magazine editor-in-chief Ken Miller's new book "Shoot" presents the work of 26 photographers who go au natural using only a single-lens reflex camera and natural light. Their work focuses on capturing a moment without the aid of elaborate lighting, sets or manufactured scenes, instead relying more on instinct, intimacy with subjects and happenstance...
Design Event, the North East, U.K.'s annual design festival named their new graphic design exhibition "Democracy," applying the concept thematically as well as in a curatorial sense. With the goal of making the entire exhibition democratic, artists and designers will submit their own interpretation of Democracy to the website CreateDemocracy. The public will then vote their favorites (see examples below) into the festival showcase....
by Tamara Warren If the best work comes from life experience, then Michel Auder married well. Or at least he married intriguing people—Viva, a Warhol superstar and photographer Cindy Sherman—who added color to his already vibrant life story. The Paris-born artist and filmmaker has done just about everything interesting in the past forty years. To prove it, he kept a diary of his days...
by Ariston Anderson At first glance, the collection of portraits FAS Contemporary's Volta booth appears to be a wall of extremely beautiful women throughout the ages, each one quickly created in delicate strokes of oil paint. But then Monica Lewinsky's face pops out at you and is that Paula Jones? British painter Annie Kevan's solo show features every Presidential girlfriend on record. Although the majority...
Riffing on the juxtaposition of the traditional with the digital, the inspiration for the upcoming panel discussion in NYC, Craft Hackers, is the kind of work that melds needlework and computing. Members of the panel include a cadre of accomplished artists engaging the tech-meets-handmade aesthetic. Cat Mazza has captured moving images into stills knit from yarn; Christy Matson uses an early loom (one of...
