Triple Canopy’s ninth issue is online, drawing its editorial premise, in part, from The Medium Was the Tedium, a panel discussion co-hosted by Rhizome and TC at the New Museum back in February. A few late-night, “best of” bullet points:
+ A Note on Unplaced Movements: I’m generally not one for collectively-written editorials. But! Smart thinking about online publishing, as always.
+ The Medium and the Tedium: Mel Bochner’s presentation from the Rhizome panel, “an account of conceptual art and its mediums.”
+ Shadow, Glare: Once installed on the user’s desktop, artist Erin Shirreff ‘s first digital artwork alters on-screen business-as-usual by casting shadows across their screen without interfering with the computer’s operating system. The project is downloadable here, for free.
+ Also, a few pithy Annotations on performance art and Berlin-based journal O32c’s new online archive, which gives the much-revered Aspen (1965-1971) a fairly thorough treatment.
