Issue 13 / Spring 2008
Map is on the move! Broadening its commitment to contemporary visual art at home and abroad, the magazine takes up a two year residency at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, hosted by the exhibitions department and School of Fine Art, while the editorial team, as the new publishers, have developed a programme of exciting projects, commissions and related publications.
Issue 13 continues to develop Studio8's vibrant new look for the magazine. Inside, we catch up with Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic in the run up to the 5th Berlin Biennial (bb5) to discuss biennials today. Features on Craig Mulholland and Torsten Lauschmann examine these Glasgow-based artists' practices in anticipation of major solo shows. Our regular commission series features exclusive work by Alasdair Gray in the magazine and online animation by Mulholland. In addition, Isla Leaver-Yap dissects the idea of monument and Victoria Miguel reports from New York.
Throughout 2008 the magazine will expand, not only its page numbers, but also its remit. In February, MAP's Visible Cinema, curated for Glasgow Film Festival 2008, follows last year's sell-out programme and features Turner prize winner Mark Wallinger, Rosa Barba and Duncan Campbell among other highly respected artists. Later on in April, a MAP publication and talk coincides with Glasgow International and bb5, bringing together new artist commissions.
