There didn't used to be a lot of studio practice outside music or art
school and movie studios.

Last week I was part of two different conversations - one concerning
collaboration (a new buzz word for grant writers) - the other on habit
(as
a aspect of an artist's studio practice)  in both cases there was an
attempt by the participants to broaden the terms to be all inclusive
-rather than any attempt to narrow the term to the specifics of the
context
in which they were being addressed. Likewise I find this tendency among
students as well - in that they would prefer the most vague usage of a
term
- rather than gain clarity - perhaps this is due to the use of the
internet
and WWW where everything is in whole or part indiscriminately linked to
everything else -
