When I decided to start mapping my studio, I discovered that there were plenty of models available to serve as references. Robert Smithson did it, Brian Eno, Vito Acconci- and several others that had imagined the maps extending out of the artistic community into grassroots activism. All of them pointed to using our working spaces as compositional tools that consciously or not affected the work made there contextually, and in turn affected the scale relationships between use and non-use, places and non-places. Working collaboratively, I documented the temporary structures, sculptures and drawings that accumulated over a week in my studio in order to investigate this relationship between work, its site and destination. I'm interested in knowing whether, as Borges suggests, a real-scale map coinciding at every point is possible between the space and work itself.
