The Centre for Research in Fine Art Practice is Glasgow School of Art's contribution to the developing history of artistic research from the Bauhaus and the Bureau of Surrealist Research to Black Mountain College and Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax. Studio 55 intends to support and develop research in fine art practice in order to shape the future of artistic research in Glasgow and beyond.
In particular, the role of the studio as a creative laboratory and critical forum for practice-led research and artistic dialogue draws upon Barnett Newman's Studio 35 project which focused upon direct dialogue between artists, which were subsequently transcribed, published and disseminated.
Studio 55 also has it's own dedicated website:
