As part of Walking Theory Platform’s Illegal Cinema series, Triple Canopy editor Alexander Provan will present a screening of censored and marginalized works from the ’60s and ’70s that blur the lines between filmmakers and radicals, action and representation, propaganda and art. A discussion will follow, examining contemporary right-wing movements and their own modes of self-representation.

The Page and the Screen
June 29 at The Public School, Bétonsalon

Triple Canopy editor Alexander Provan will facilitate this class examining print culture in the digital era: the potential that new technologies offer for renovating reading and viewing; historical precedents for the transformation of print, and related publics and art practices; and the evolution and disaggregation of what we’ve come to call publishing.

How to Read the Reading Room
Stefan Sulzer + Sandra Bradvic + Molly Kleiman
July 18, 4 p.m. at Duplex Gallery
How do we salvage and revivify archives that have been destroyed, diminished, or forgotten? A talk in conjunction with “The Reading Room,” Stefan Sulzer’s exhibit at Duplex. Sulzer will speak about his engagement with the volumes from Sarajevo’s National and University Library, 90 percent of which was destroyed in 1992 during the siege of Sarajevo. Sandra Bradvic, the curator, will discuss appropriation and the potential of fragmentary archives. Triple Canopy editor Molly Kleiman will question how we read and remember in the digital era. Discussion will follow with students and faculty from the Sarajevo Academy of Fine Art, and a librarian from the Rare Books Department at the Sarajevo Library.

Produced in collaboration with Sandra Bradvic.

Print and Demand
Triple Canopy + 032c + XYM + Fillip

A discussion of the changing nature of publishing and related art practices and publics. 032c is a Berlin-based magazine of contemporary culture; XYM is a Norwegian online publisher of temporarily available PDF projects; Fillip is a Canadian magazine of art, culture, and ideas.

Of Death and Lasers
Triple Canopy + Jeremy Shaw
July 29

Triple Canopy presents a briefing and interrogation regarding the activities of the International Necronautical Society’s Berlin Inspectorate, and the group’s claim that the city is the World Capital of Death. Editors and suspected agents will present intelligence on the INS’s plan to recruit citizens and occupy a major cultural landmark as part of its efforts to “map, enter, colonise and, eventually, inhabit” the space of death. Then, on a different note, Berlin-based artist Jeremy Shaw will deliver a performative lecture on the history and future of laser technologies in and out of medical science, advanced weaponry, and visual culture.

About Triple Canopy:

Mission
Triple Canopy works collectively with writers, artists, researchers, and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage them, both online and in the world at large. These investigations are realized in an online magazine as well as in public programs and print publications encompassing various fields and locales. We aim to present work and advance ideas informed by a multitude of disciplines and perspectives, and to disseminate them among a broad and diverse audience. Triple Canopy, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, was founded in late 2007; our first issue was published on March 17, 2008. www.canopycanopycanopy.com | www.177livingston.org
