Key themes include the gendered and performative aspects of women practising 'at home', collaborative studio communities of the 1970s - 90s including the appropriation of abandoned spaces in East London, and the effects of Covid on artistic practices and family life within the spaces of 'home'. The book comprises full-length chapters by artists, architects, art and design historians, each of whom bring different perspectives to the issues, interwoven with short interviews with artists to enrich and broaden the debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a time when individual relationships to home environments have been radically altered, \u003ci\u003eThe Artist at Home\u003c\/i\u003e considers why some artists in previous decades either needed to or chose to work from home, producing work of vitality and integrity. Tracing this long tradition into the present, the book will provide a deeper understanding of how the home studio has affected the practices and identity of artists working in different countries, and in different circumstances, from the mid-20th century to the present.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImogen Racz \u003c\/b\u003eis an art historian and former Associate Head of School for Research at Coventry University, UK.
