We're pleased to announce the publication of our seventh issue, Urbanisms: Master Plans, which will be unfurled in installments over the next month or so. Read the introduction. It is the second of two issues devoted to examining our current urban situation and what lies beyond it: the city’s past and its future; the suburban, the exurban, the frontier.
From November 4 to 8, Triple Canopy and Light Industry are presenting the East Coast premiere of Wang Bing's Crude Oil, a fourteen-hour film installation tracking a fourteen-hour workday of crude-oil extraction in northwest China. Wang's film will be on view from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. each day, running five times in its entirety. The accompanying program will include presentations by and discussions with Matthew Coolidge of the Center for Land Use Interpretation, Lucy Raven, Rebecca Karl, and Zhen Zhang, as well as additional screenings and a curated DVD library. See our programs page for more details.
Thanks to our friends at the Internal Revenue Service, Triple Canopy is now officially a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. If you value the work we've been doing and would like to enable us to do more of it—and publish with greater frequency—please consider making a tax-deductible donation here.
Next month we'll announce our first commissions program, which will support the development of research projects, public programming, Internet-specific artwork, and new-media reporting and is generously funded by a grant from the Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston.
