This winter, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, premieres Production Site: The Artist’s Studio Inside-Out, an exhibition that uniquely examines the artist’s studio as subject. The exhibition presents an illuminating look at how some of the most compelling artists of today have demystified, remystified, and reconsidered art production spaces. Large installations, films, multi-channel video projections, photographic light-boxes, and life-sized fabrications of artists’ studios that explore the creative process are on view February 6 through May 30, 2010.

“Production Site presents work that documents, depicts, reconstructs, or otherwise invokes that space, it reveals how the studio provides for the intersection of research, experimentation, production, and social activity, and how our romantic notions of the artist’s studio both celebrate and constrict its role in contemporary art-making,” says Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn. The studio is used as a focus point to explore the nature of creativity; aspects of chance; and how artists have used it as a source of inspiration for their work.

MCA Curator Dominic Molon says Production Site “brings a tradition of representing the artist’s studio since the Renaissance into the present day. It provides a rare opportunity to see the studio – a space typically kept private by the artist for contemplation, conceptualization, and production – through the eyes of the artists themselves.”
