The studio has become the white space, but was it always that way? Seems to have been a 20th century movement to create the clean space that would allow the art to be displayed/created without any impurities effecting its development. This has been carried on into galleries throughout the world - white walls, wooden floors, lighting from ceiling windows or lights.But other institutions are often white too - cells, padded cells, decontamination chambers, operating theatres. Are they creative spaces? What stimulus do they provide? Are they different? The same? What impact does the stated purpose have on the players in each?
