Ryan McGinness’s Studio Franchise show opens tomorrow, February 4, at La Casa Encendida, in Madrid. As Ryan explains of the show, “Studio Franchise is a logical extension of Warhol’s factory sarcasm, the Koons/Murakami/Hirst factory sincerity, and the artist-as-brand reality of today.”
True to its name, the exhibition includes an artist studio modeled on Ryan’s New York studio, and is being staged across La Casa’s three main gallery spaces. The functioning artist studio, in Space C, will be in operation during La Casa’s opening hours, with Ryan and a small team making work that will be installed in Space B as it is completed.
