Issue 14 / Summer 2008
Welcome to the summer edition of MAP. Now based in Dundee, Scotland's contemporary art magazine has expanded and includes 16 extra pages at no extra cost!
This issue MAP interrogates the work of artists working against the 'hum' of the 'internationallocal' art scene.
Emerging artists Ben Jones and Ann Bowman are based in the USA; Jones is an infiltrator of the comic book, Ann a plunderer of mainstream film. Isla Leaver-Yap discovers rich seams from a national past in new work by Polish artist Paulina Olowska. The enigmatic work of Henrik Olesen is examined by Bergamo curator Alessandro Rabottini, and Scott Myles comes under the scrutiny of Lilian Haberer and Regina Baruke.
Both Olesen and Myles also feature in MAP's first commissioned publication, created as a link between Glasgow international and berlin biennial 5.
