The Nomadic Studio is an enquiry into the role of the artist studio within processes of re-development in cities today, and portrays the spirit of an artists’ commune working in temporary urban sites. Operating as case study, this photographic perspective encompasses a set of vignettes, reflections, facts and fantasies extracted from the lifeworld of a transitional artist led community in South London and its 18 months in creative habitation of a complex of defunct council premises. The Nomadic Studio explores a vital cultural tradition of experimentation and freedom and the extent to which these temporary artist-run spaces are often forgotten.
