Over the last several years, we at CAS have spoken with colleagues, artists, and friends, both casually and formally about studio visits. The issue of expectations and ethics came up repeatedly: nearly everyone has expectations about studio visits, but they're often different and very rarely communicated clearly. Although many good things can come out of studio visits, these mixed and unmet expectations can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration. In an attempt to counter this, CAS and Open Studios Stavanger & Sandnes co-hosted a public discussion about studio visit ethics. The goal was not a definitive answer, but rather an opening conversation to share our experiences, perspectives, and to raise awareness of tools that exist to help artists and curators communicate their needs and boundaries. We were honored to be joined in this conversation by Stavanger-based artist Anna Ihle* and Martina Petrelli, curator of Atelier Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo. Below is an edited transcript of our discussion.
