Capital idea should go further I write in reference to Antony Gormley’s plea for property developers to offer artists low-cost studio space in London (“Antony Gormley backs campaign to create affordable studios across London,” published online on 8 March). Artists do not just live in London, so why not make this a nationwide initiative? It makes far more sense; all artists who joined the scheme could pay a flat rate, and there could even be some exchange between the various studios: artists who would like to work for a while in a different place could arrange that. It could work well.
