    Shana Kimball started the topic Apply by June 30 for a Triple Canopy
    Commission at NYPL Labs in the forum NYCDH Announcements

    “For the sixth annual call for proposals, Triple Canopy is pleased to
    announce a partnership with New York Public Library Labs, which will
    support two commissions. Triple Canopy invites applicants to propose
    projects that engage a collection or body of materials, physical or
    digital, in the NYPL’s holdings. Applicants are asked to consider archival
    material both critically and imaginatively, in its capacity to evidence
    past events and practices as well as to form the basis for new creative
    work. Individuals pursuing research toward an MA or PhD thesis may not
    apply with a proposal that encompasses or includes their degree-related
    work. Research collections at the NYPL available for study can be viewed
    here.

    To apply:

    Triple Canopy is interested in forging connections between books,
    manuscripts, lectures, performances, exhibitions, among other forms, and
    the magazine’s digital publishing practice. The editors invite artists and
    writers to submit proposals for projects that may or may not find their
    primary realization on the Web; the following list, by no means exhaustive,
    enumerates some of the formats such projects might take:

    Print broadsheet, poster or pamphlet
    Book or e-book
    Digital project
    Software deployed outside of Triple Canopy’s website
    Public lecture or seminar
    Performance
    Reading
    Screening
    Exhibition or installation

    Triple Canopy is looking for artists and writers with coherent proposals
    for projects that can be realized in one year or less. Triple Canopy seeks
    work that makes innovative, persuasive use of its own form and medium.
    While past publication or experience is not a prerequisite, successful
    applicants will demonstrate fluency in the field in which they wish to
    publish. Triple Canopy prioritizes work by emerging artists and writers
    working in the fields of visual art and literature, broadly defined; the
    editors appreciate work that takes into account current discussions and
    debates but is not bound by them, work that is carefully crafted but not
    fixated on form. Additionally, Triple Canopy encourages applicants to
    familiarize themselves with the magazine’s online platform, which features
    a custom system for authoring and presenting digital projects. Read more
    about that platform here.

    Recipients of Triple Canopy Commissions at NYPL Labs receive:

    Eight to twelve months of artistic, editorial, and technical support;
    Six months of access to one of the research study rooms at the Stephen A.
    Schwarzman Building;
    Access to reference librarians for one-on-one consultations;
    An honorarium of $2,000;
    The opportunity to present work related to the commission as a public
    program hosted by the NYPL;
    Coordination and production of any print publication or live event that
    results from the recipient’s work;
    The opportunity for inclusion in Triple Canopy’s annual print anthology,
    Invalid Format;
    Archiving of materials and long-term maintenance of any online version of
    the project by Triple Canopy in partnership with New York University’s
    Fales Library and Special Collections.

    Apply via the online form by midnight June 30, 2015. Commission recipients
    will be announced September 1, 2015.”
