Abstract

The goal of this paper is to talk about the idea of art making as a studio art production process and to describe how studio praxis can be a fundamental ground for generating new knowledge in which an artist innovates, discovers, introduces, rejects, chooses, compromises, transforms, and analyses within the premise of making. The studio is defined as an ontological premise (what the studio is) and a methodological procedure (how things are made in the studio). Studio art production shows the studio as a place where theory and practice, thinking and making, meet in making new knowledge.
