Column is a new bi-annual periodical published by Artspace that acts as a site for the critical contextualisation, elaboration and extension of Artspace’s ongoing program of exhibitions, performances, residencies, and public programs, as well as providing space for response to related developments outside Artspace. The publication does not merely serve as an adjunct to an exhibition program, as an explanatory or validating device, but as an active component of the overall life of an organisation and its publics, a platform for discourse that contributes to the thinking around the intellectual, artistic and social practices explored in various ways at Artspace.

In response to each Biennale of Sydney since 1998, Artspace has commissioned a range of critics, curators and theorists to interrogate and engage with the curatorial framework informing the exhibition, as well as with the practices of the contributing artists, thinkers and performers. On each occasion, writers have been given a week to submit a substantial, fluidly discursive paper quickly brought together and published in a reader format then inserted back into the public sphere to act as a generator of and focal point for sustained critical discussion of the Biennale in its local, regional and global contexts. Column 2 provides the platform for such engagement with the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, accompanying quick response texts by Christina Barton, Susan Best, Philip Brophy, Bec Dean and Anthony Gardner with sustained contextual analysis by Jacqueline Millner and an interview with the biennale's Artistic Director, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. This special issue also features documentation and discussion of Artspace's artistic program over the period November 2007 to June 2008, with full-colour pagework projects by artists Geoff Kleem and Julia Gorman. SUBSCRIPTION RATE (2 issues per year, inc. postage & handling): Aust $40; overseas $55.
