Triple Canopy is offering what sounds like a fascinating summer intensive on the nature of publication and circulation (both historically and presently). Held in New York City, from 06/15 to 06/26th. Free tuition and materials, open to Jr./Sr. college students, graduate students, and recent graduates who have a background in writing, literature, art history, new media, or design.

During the Publication Intensive, Triple Canopy editors and invited artists, writers, and technologists will lead discussions and workshops with participating students, who will research, analyze, and enact an approach to publication that hinges on today’s networked forms of production and circulation but also mines the history of print culture and artistic practice.

The Publication Intensive will address such questions as: How have artists, writers, and designers used the pages of magazines and books as sites of and material for experimentation? How have new-media publications challenged conventions of authorship and reception, only to have those very challenges soon become the foundation of the new economy? How have artists, writers, designers, and technologists responded to ensuing changes in the media landscape? And how have responses differed in areas with disparate resources and relationships to technology? What are the politics of access and identity associated with online public forums and media?

Applications due April 6th. For more information and to apply, visit Publication Intensive online.
