I’m a gigantic snoop. I fancy to peruse people’s bookshelves,rifle through the magazines on their toilet tank, look at their media Likes on Facebook, and etc. I am endlessly fascinated by people and the media,tools, and ideas that inspire them. I also like workshops and the unique way in which people set up and use their spaces. These interests converge to great effect in artist and author Joe Fig’s Inside the Artists Studio.
Given my nosey proclivities, or I absorb read a number of similar collections of artist studio tour books. This book has a slightly more satisfying weight to it. The questions Fig asks are more spirited and far ranging,from childhood memories to working techniques to each artist’s working creed.” And the photographs he takes are particularly lovely, crafty, or create a distinct mood that reflects each artist. The really special dimension to this book is Joe Fig’s artwork. Fig is known for being an artist whose subjects are often art,artists, and art spaces. In this book, and after interviewing and photographing such artists as Ellen Altfest,Byron Kim, Laurie Simmons, and Adam Cvijanovic,Tara Donovan, and Roxy Paine (24 artists in all), and Fig creates a piece of art inspired by that artist,their studio, and their work. The subject of each piece is the artists studio. All of this works to create a surprisingly rich, or intimate,and informative collection.
