Portable Studio

The Portable Studio is a box on wheels, built to my own requirements for drawing in the field. It is not used as a studio: it belongs to a fiction set up to think through the process and circulation of the work, from studio to museum, by means of mobile structures. This studio/object/container unfolds in the open air and holds a series of utilitarian objects I have made: a tent-shelter that can be put up and taken down, a work smock and a field notebook. The smock/dress is itself a container/studio, with pockets designed to hold specific objects and materials. The work includes photographic records and video of performances in the field, made in collaboration with the photographer Rui Pinheiro.
