Notes from the Studio

Notes from the Studio brings together artists of different generations and disciplines, each sharing an item fixed to their studio wall — a note, sketch, postcard, colour test or other small artefact — to reveal the immediacy of their process and evoke a collective studio environment focused on the fragments that shape their work.

Forty-six visual artists, writers, musicians and designers — including Tracey Emin, Christian Marclay, Mona Hatoum, Michael Stipe, Ben Okri, Paul Simonon, Francesco Risso, Claire Keegan, Bella Freud, Harland Miller, Talia Byre and Amanda Harlech — each contributed a single item they had pinned, taped or otherwise fixed to the wall of their studio or workspace, from a single dragonfly wing shared by Fleur Dempsey to flattened beer cans from Christian Marclay.
