Latitudes’ 20th anniversary and updated Portfolio
Wed, Apr 2 2025
To mark Latitudes’ 20th anniversary this April 2025, we have refreshed the design of our Portfolio. The 10th edition is available in desktop, mobile, and print formats.
Looking back, our first anniversary in April 2006 was a whirlwind. We were deep in the editorial process of “LAND, ART: A Cultural Ecology Handbook” (published in December 2006), an anthology co-edited by the Royal Society of Arts and Arts Council England. Amid that hectic process, we forgot to commemorate.
Five years later, in 2010, we marked the occasion with our 22nd newsletter – our first featuring a birthday candle. At the time, we were gearing up for a road trip from Barcelona to London to take part in another milestone: Tate Modern's 10th Anniversary. To mark the occasion, artist Maurizio Cattelan and curators Cecilia Alemani and Massimiliano Gioni organised the second edition of NO SOUL FOR SALE - A Festival of Independents, which occupied Tate's Turbine Hall for a long weekend in mid-May 2010. Our journey was itself an artwork—Martí Anson, in his role as artist-cum-chauffeur, drove us to London and back as part of his project “Mataró Chauffeur Service”, ensuring we arrived in style (or rather truly tired) for the celebration.
The 2020 redesign is still mostly up today, with a few updates, such as the font.
We can't believe two decades have flown by since we decided to give it a go as freelancers. This April 2025 finds us recovering from two major exhibitions that opened this past February– two much-anticipated solo exhibitions in Madrid. The first is the survey of Mexican-born, Bilbao-based artist Jorge Satorre at the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Móstoles. The second is also a survey, featuring the work of Barcelona-based artist Laia Estruch, at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Both exhibitions are accompanied by the artists’ first monographs, covering works created from 2011 to the present. Estruch’s monograph will be available later in Spring, while Satorre’s, co-published by Museo CA2M and Caniche Editorial, is already available for purchase online (€30, including shipping within Spain) here and from Museo CA2M front desk.
Speaking of books, we’re pleased to announce that our publications are now more widely accessible. The Library and Documentation Centre of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, Spain) has been added to the list of institutions where a complete (or nearly complete) collection of Latitudes publications is available for public reference.
