1 day symposium followed by 2 week participatory exhibition. In a climate of economic instability, and at a time when artistic practices are continuing to diversify, the symposium aimed to explore a number of modes of studio practice. How does exposure to different models of the studio within art school impact on how artists use a studio upon graduation? How do studio groups differ in their support of artist’s practices? What is the relationship between artists and their assistants? In preparation for the event artists were invited to contribute instructions on how to behave in the physical, digital, or psychological spaces in which their art is made. During the following 2 weeks, groups of UK art students from 6 different institutions were invited to come to blip blip blip to enact the instructions in the space, forming part of the public exhibition. Speakers include a number of prominent art educators; studio groups from a range of different cities; artists and academics who discussed the practices of artists who employ teams of assistants within their studios
