About this book

"MAP's two-year residency at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee has come to an end and we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to the exhibitions and fine art departments for being such generous hosts. True to our nomadic practice we're now moving on. From 20 February we can be contacted at our new address at Glasgow's Centre for Contemporary Arts, where we look forward to a two-year stay in a city that has become known for its dynamic and varied art scene, one which continues to influence art production both locally and beyond. Working from these bases in Scotland, as well as locations abroad and online, we build relationships directly with the communities the magazine reflects and informs. MAP meanwhile continues to seek alternative ways to engage with critical writing and publishing. Collective concerns and peripatetic practice are both evident in this issue. Berlin-based curatorial duo Silberkuppe have, within a year, developed an exciting exhibition model which relies heavily on collective gathering and thinking and can move around the world freely. Ben Rivers has been visiting islands around the world on a quest for knowledge. Mary Redmond reveals a glimpse of her research from abroad and Glasgow-based artists Katy Dove and Victoria Morton, who work independently in a studio context, are also becoming more interested in collaborating with others, most particularly with members of the band, Muscles of Joy."--
