Please check out the Joe Fig show at MassArt. This amazing artist creates scale models that are exact reproductions of well- known contemporary artist studios, based on interviews and photos done with the artists. Make the time to see this! It's well worth the trip:

Inside the Painter's Studio offers a unique glimpse into contemporary artistic practice. After interviewing each artist and documenting their studios, Joe Fig beautifully renders their workspaces in miniature. His astonishingly detailed sculptures, which are exhibited alongside paintings, drawings, and prints by the artists, transport the viewer into the mind and space of the creative individual. The works by Fig and both emerging and established painters, coupled with frank interviews, detail the intricacies of studio life.
