We're pleased to announce the publication of our ninth issue, Unplaced Movements, which will be unfurled in installments over the next month. Over the past several months, we've produced a series of public programs designed to investigate our own underlying assumptions about online publishing. The projects included in issue 9 are the outcome of these talks, conversations, and performances, and position Triple Canopy’s approach to the Web within a broader historical context. By charting a critical genealogy of new-media publishing, we hope to identify some of the undercurrents that have defined and enriched each successive “new” medium. Read the editors' note for more.

We're currently undertaking Sender, Carrier, Receiver, a month-long series of programs in Paris, Berlin, and Sarajevo. Back in Brooklyn, Triple Canopy will present Double Features, a evening of audio-visual exchange, at 177 Livingston on July 22. Organized by sound artist and composer C. Spencer Yeh, the evening will feature the duos Bill Kouligas & Yeh, New Humans, Gary War & Taylor Richardson, and Purple Haze, all performing alongside film and video works.

The eighth issue of Triple Canopy, Hue and Cry, has reached its conclusion. Issue 9 will consider the history of literature and artworks that move between media—especially the magazine—in relation to the advent of online reading and viewing, and will be published in June.

We recently opened an office space and venue at 177 Livingston Street, in downtown Brooklyn. The 5,000-square-foot storefront is being operated in partnership with Light Industry and The Public School New York and is regularly hosting artist talks, screenings, workshops, lectures, classes, and performances. 177 Livingston also hosts a library of books, magazines, artist publications, and film, video, and sound work, which is open to the public from 12 till 6, Thursday through Sunday.
