This STEP explores the studio’s nature as a commons and how it is being commoned in new forms in the neoliberal city. Specifically, it explores the ‘makeshifts’ through which creative practitioners collectively assemble and embody the studio and, in doing so, sustain communities of practice. The project involves: historiographical research into the studio’s lineage, disentangling its origins, ideals, contradictions and transformations; ethnographic research into the working environments of Athens-based practitioners; and curatorial research sharing the project’s findings via a commoned exhibition.
