Is the studio a public place?

INTERVIEW | William Kentridge, the eminent South African painter and star of "Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot", weighs in

“There’s some painters whose studios don't get touched for years and years and it slowly accumulates this thick layer of drying oil paint all around. My studio breathes in the sense that there are a lot of different projects that happen in it and, when it reaches a certain point, it’s very good to have a clearing of the table, and then gradually you breathe out and a whole lot of new objects appear and come in.” — William Kentridge
