Visual Art
Gossip, chat and rumour from the gallery floor
I A new magazine devoted to the visual arts in Scotland is launching in February. The Map will be a quarterly publication focusing on artists working in Scotland, as well as Scottish artists on the international scene. Profiles, features, reviews and news from the best arts writers here and abroad will be providing the critical edge that is much needed in the visual arts. Though a sister publication of The List, it is an independent magazine - edited, designed and produced separately. To get in touch contact editor, Alice Bain on editorGthemapmagazinecom Watch this space.
I Party. party. party. It's been a bit of a launching whirl the last couple of weeks. But special mention must go to Transmission's launch of Torsten Lauschmann. where music- making took over the general throng and got all involved — including a baby on a recorder (pictured). Meanwhile on the other end of the M8. the much-vaunted poolside party for Ed Fluscba squelched like a soggy beach towel. Ed was safely back in LA, kicking back in the sun.
I The RSA is calling for proposals for its 2005 residencies at Hospitalfield House near Arbroath. Lasting between one and three months the stint includes accommodation and food plus a bit of cash.

I The Royal Museum of Scotland has a plan - a masterplan. in fact. Announcing the moves on Thursday 18 November, it is cooking up a brew of innovations to take the Victorian museum into a new era with new exhibitions and displays. a learning centre. cafe and shop. Let's hope they keep the fishes.
