SHOWstudio's exhibition, 'To Bed', was dedicated to the notion of sleep and its many representations within art and fashion. Given that during winter months we tend to give over to hibernation, the somnolent show aptly ran throughout January to April.  Curated by Carrie Scott, it included major works by Marina Bychkova, Chanel, Corinne Day, Jeremy Kost, Nick Knight, Mel Odom, Maiko Takeda, Viktor & Rolf, and Andy Warhol. In tandem with this dream-like exhibition, SHOWstudio.com broadcast an exclusive series of performances from the LiveStudio in Bruton Place.

SHOWstudio's exhibition Florist, was dedicated to the still life and included major works by Guy Bourdin, Daniel Brown, Michael Howells, Nick Knight, Jeffry Mitchell and Mary Temple.

Since early human civilisation our fascination with creating human replicas has endured. In ancient times, representational monuments to deities took shape on both human and miniature scale rendered from stone, clay, wood, bone, and cloth.

The use of abject imagery in art and fashion can be traced throughout history. The Dadaists were of course enthralled with transgression and taboo but since well before the Renaissance, painters expressed a fascination with blood. When the Whitney Museum gave the movement a name in 1993, recent experiment gained more viable traction. Radical artists like Andres Serrano and Helen Chadwick started working with bodily fluids and fashion designers including Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen started representing death, trauma and decay.

In tandem with the physical exhibition, SHOWstudio.com broadcast performances by Judy Blame, Edward Griffiths and Gareth Pugh from the LiveStudio in Bruton place. Objects made during the LiveStudio were then subsequently displayed in the Shop.

Examining the modern sculptural presence of this time-honored trend, the SHOWstudio Shop brought together a variety of theatrical headgear by five contemporary milliners. Perfectly balanced between art object and functional accessory, each piece in the show served to demonstrate just how extensively this trend is being reinvented.

From its outset, the philosophy of SHOWstudio.com has been to demystify the creative process, rather than offering the final product as acme of creative production, SHOWstudio.com seeks instead to explore the process of getting there. From the artists' initial ideas and inspiration to the techniques employed in achieving the end result both emotionally and physically SHOWstudio.com revels in the act of making. By showing the process itself, it advocates that the collaborative effort is as important as any premeditated ideas on the path to creativity.
