Digital Humanities]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 installationTriple 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.” -
