Studio visits by Chih-Tung Lin
Studio visits by Chih-Tung Lin is a riso-printed publication exploring the topics of the curator’s role, the studio visit culture, conventions, power structure, and many other curator-artist related subjects. Designed by Valentina Černiauskaitė and printed by Risofort, the book of 116 pages includes a compilation of the comic strips documenting a beginning curator’s constant questioning on their role and their relationship with whom they work with.
Two-coloured book follows the completion of Chih-Tung’s master thesis project at Uniarts Helsinki titled Studio Visits by Chih-Tung Lin where 19 distinctive studio visits with Finnish-based art workers were realised.
The publication presents firsthand observation and reflection on running the project but also all the wandering thoughts that the project inspires through Chih-Tung’s comical narratives.
The book had its first appearance Papers & Peers in Bangkok, represented by Break Off Art Book Fair.

My gratitude: to Chih-Tung Lin, for making this project come to life and trusting me to walk the path together, to Martin from Risofort, for his dedication and work ethics, and to all my riso teachers that made me fall in love with the process.
Thank you
