Francisco Donoso: Studio Practice
Listen in as I get to chat with artist Francisco Donoso about his studio practice. The artist talks about how keeping a studio outside his home, gives him the opportunity to spread out, explore and forge a community in the South Bronx where his first studio is located. We talk about gentrification and the cycles of artist neighborhoods that often end up in the displacement of people of color. Donoso also talks about the use of “chainlink fences” in his work and how he has reframed them through abstraction to take away its power. The artist also offers some advice on approaching a robust studio practice.
