Function of the Studio

I'll soon be moving into my first ever "formal" studio space. Most of my artmaking happens on site or is highly mobile so that I can bring it with me and work on it wherever I find the time. Not needing a studio has been a convenience both financially and in the sense that I can work privately, without other artists observing my practice.

Now, however, I've decided it's time I became more social in my practice, and got feedback from my peers as I work. I'm also in desperate need of space and storage, which is a different subject entirely.

I'm thinking of Daniel Buren's essay The Function of the Studio from 1971, in which he questions the space between the studio and the gallery– or wherever it is the work might be displayed. While I feel that Buren's preference that an artwork not be dissociated from its place of origin supports the way I've been working over the years, I'm interested in thinking about his theory in a totally different way. How can a work of art acknowledge the space and time between its studio origins and public display? I'm also wondering if this relates to the way a human leaves their place of origin– i.e., their parent's home– and goes out on their own "when the piece is ready" or has a certain "preparedness for the outside"?

Perhaps these are questions I can explore once I start utilizing a studio space more and thinking about the mobility of my work from point A to point B. Just a thought.
