Tractatus Logico-Suicidalis | Triple Canopy

Born in 1943, Hermann Burger began his career as a poet before publishing a series of outlandish novels and stories (one, for example, is about a “laughter artist” who eats glass). Burger struggled with depression and bipolar disorder for much of his life, and his regular contemplation of su***de manifested in the 1988 book Tractatus Logico-Suicidalis, which begins with an absurd single-sentence tale of a missing professor—a fictionalized Burger—who is assumed to have committed “a capital crime” against himself while staying at a hotel in the Swiss countryside. Aphorisms on su***de follow: philosophically rigorous and indecorously wry, they confront the tragic, often unspeakable act and aim to provide it with a sound theoretical basis.

The excerpts from Tractatus are taken from Adrian Nathan West’s translation (the first to appear in English), published this month by Wakefield Press.

“Suicidology is the science of self-murder.” A fiction and series of aphorisms regarding the predominance of death over life. With artworks by Lisa Oppenheim.

Eugene Lim is grateful for, among other things, “learning to let things go,” “going to coney island with the fam,” and “that iggy pop learned french.” But as he continues to write gratitude lists, he’s unsure if the result is a record, fiction, or both.

Pitcher High-Dee | Triple Canopy

Carlotta, the titular protagonist of James Hannaham’s novel Didn’t Nobody Give a S**t What Happened to Carlotta, is on a hero’s journey. She started living as a woman during a twenty-two-year prison sentence, and after she’s granted parole she returns home to a dramatically changed Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Determined not to be a passive character in her own story, Carlotta sets the record straight with friends and strangers who are all too ready to assign simplistic labels—as well as with the novel’s unnamed narrator, who diligently attempts to record her odyssey, from the liberation of a single overpriced shoe to bureaucratic snafus at Check-o-Rama.

A fiction about unvalidated identity and the liberation of one gold-lamé heel. With artworks by Ralph Lemon.

The Right Stuff | Triple Canopy

Seven years ago, the anthropologist Sophia Roosth and her wife began shopping for s***m.

The s***m donor databases she perused not only reinforced the supremacy of heterosexuality, but exhibited the logic of eugenics as well: filters allowed shoppers to sort donors by race, ethnic origin, skin tone, eye color, blood type, and weight, as well as non-inheritable characteristics (e.g., college major, religion, and “celebrity look-a-likes”). Though distressing, Roosth wasn't terribly surprised; she teaches the history of reproductive technology and knows all too well that the development of many such technologies—artificial insemination by donor among them—was directly linked to the practice of eugenics.

Despite her criticism of the industry, Roosth couldn’t help but give in to the strange allure of scrolling through donor pages: “I’m precisely the sort of person who should be able to maintain curious skepticism and dispassionate objectivity while s***m shopping, and I could not.”

How much is that baby in the browser? An essay on s***m shopping, q***r family-making, and the sticky legacy of eugenics. With artworks by Ani Liu.

Remembering Brian O’Doherty, a warm, generous, mischievous, endlessly creative person—and a figure who’s had an immense influence on Triple Canopy.

His life was defined by collaboration, experimentation, and shape-shifting as an artist—using his own name as well as Patrick Ireland, among other aliases—writer, cultural organizer, and editor. He edited (and designed) the 1967 “conceptual issue” of Aspen—the wayfaring multimedia magazine-in-a-box—which continues to be a touchstone for Triple Canopy.

Brian always did what he could to support rising generations of artists and writers. As the part-time director of visual and media arts for the National Endowment for the Arts in the 1970s, he established the agency’s first grant initiatives for artist-run spaces (he coined the term “alternative spaces”) and championed video as an artistic medium.

In 2013, Brian gave us the honor of letting us honor him at our first benefit event. We’re grateful to have called him a friend and mentor.

First, Negative Two, 38 | Triple Canopy

Join us at Roxy Cinema New York this Sunday at 6 p.m. for the premiere of a trilogy of short films by Daniel Chew and Micaela Durand, followed by a conversation with the filmmaker Matías Piñeiro.

Each of the films follows the daily life of a different protagonist: a teenage girl faces an onslaught of creepy, prying DMs during a night out with a friend; a young gay man meanders the streets of New York City as his text exchanges with a potential hookup become increasingly intimate; a woman in her late thirties obsessively tracks the online presence of the younger woman who slept with her now ex-boyfriend. While the films aren’t explicitly linked through narrative, they all belong to a cinematic world in which the prevalent norms of the internet are transposed into film: reflective surfaces and image-distorting filters are ubiquitous, text conversations appear in subtitles and voice overs as characters talk to each other on screen, and carefully crafted selfies become a primary form of self-representation.

A screening and discussion about the hypermediation of life and the constant trial of self-representation.

We’ve just launched our twenty-eighth issue, True to Life, with contributions by Hermann Burger (translated by Adrian Nathan West), Daniel Chew & Micaela Durand, James Hannaham, Eugene Lim, Sophia Roosth, and Elvia Wilk with Alexandra Kleeman, Adam Khalil, and Bayley Sweitzer.

https://canopycanopycanopy.com/issues/28

The issue considers how we narrate our lives, and how these narratives provide a sense of oneself in the world (and of the world itself). Reflecting on the evolution and proliferation of so-called life writing—from memoir and autobiography to biofiction and video diaries—the issue asks which speakers and stories might enable us to more effectively and expansively account for this moment of upheaval. With all of life under threat from political and ecological collapse, how might our efforts to write truer selves reinforce (and help to meaningfully harness) the desire to rewrite the world around us, whether through narration or engineering?

The first contributions to the issue are now online: a note on life writing, gene tinkering, and climate engineering by Triple Canopy’s editors; fiction by Hannaham about unvalidated identity and the liberation of one gold-lamé heel; an essay on s***m shopping and q***r family-making by Roosth; a series of autofictional “gratitude lists” by Lim; and Burger’s treatise on su***de, translated by West. These projects are accompanied by artworks by Tao Lin, Ani Liu, Ralph Lemon, Lisa Oppenheim, and Anicka Yi.

As part of the issue, on Sunday, November 6, Triple Canopy and Roxy Cinema New York are presenting the premiere of a trilogy of short films by Chew and Durand, followed by a conversation with the filmmaker Matías Piñeiro. We’ve also published documentation of a public program we hosted earlier this month with Wilk, Kleeman, Khalil, and Sweitzer.

The visual identity for issue 28—palettes of glyphs that signal how a group of AI systems interpret the issue’s contributions—was developed by AUTHENTIC. True to Life is the first issue to be published on our new website, which was created with Astrom / Zimmer & Tereszkiewicz.

Triple Canopy – Unknown States

We’ve just concluded issue 27, Unknown States, which considers the stories and myths that give rise to nations and nationalities. In essays, translations, fictions, videos, poems, garments, DJ mixes, screenings, and discussions, the issue’s forty contributors seek to understand the attachment to nationality as a primary mode of identification. They also call attention to—and strive to imagine—ways of understanding and organizing people beyond the framework of the nation.

We began working on the issue as we conducted research for “Can I Leave You?,” an installation we organized at the RISD Museum in 2019 as part of the exhibition “Raid the Icebox Now.” Nearly three years later—and one year after we began publishing Unknown States—the issue’s core concerns are, for better or worse, more pertinent and urgent than ever. As Mahmood Mamdani soberly notes in an interview with Ratik Asokan, “Unfortunately, the nation always poses the same question: who belongs? … The answer is always delivered with violence.” In the past few years, we’ve had innumerable reminders of this fact, with acts of violence being carried out in the name of national identity—and targeting minorities and those who are branded as outsiders—by states as well as individuals, from Ukraine to the Philippines, from Buffalo to the West Bank.

An issue that asks how fictions give rise to nations and nationalities. How do those fictions work, and for whom?

Triple Canopy – Executive Fiction by Richard Beck, Ari M. Brostoff & Sean McCann

On Thursday, July 14, at 7, the role of top globalists in upholding the American messiah complex through jingoistic thrillers will be revealed! At TC HQ, the critics and writers Richard Beck, Ari M. Brostoff, and Sean McCann will speak truth to the heroic personas crafted (and embodied) by Bill and Hillary Clinton in recent novels written with bestselling authors. They’ll ask how the infamous public duo is channeling personal aspiration—and a tired brand of nationalism—into fictional visions of America as a gallant, unstoppable global power.

A conversation about the American messiah complex as manifest in the political thrillers written by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Join us this Saturday at 5:00 p.m. EDT for an IRL and livestreamed conversation with the writers Atossa Araxia Abrahamian and Rana Dasgupta, who will consider how nations have been invented through stories, symbols, and utopian tracts, and how to reinvent them so as to prevent the future from being determined by cabals of financiers, tyrants, and tech bros.

The work is a portrait of Almoutlak, a sculptor and media activist from Homs, Syria, who fled the civil war in 2015.

Three Songs without Z will be presented alongside Camila Galaz’s Vecino Vecino (2021), Younes Ben Slimane’s We Knew How Beautiful They Were, These Islands (2022), Miatta Kawinzi’s SHE GATHER ME (2021), and Kamila Kuc’s What We Shared (2021). The screening of Three Songs without Z will be followed by a conversation with Pandian and the film critic and scholar Yasmina Price.

This Thursday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m. EDT at our venue in Manhattan, the writer Lou Cornum will speak with Raven Chacon, an artist and composer, and Audra Simpson, a political anthropologist, about how Indigenous people are restructuring the relationship between people and the planet. They’ll discuss how the relationship between Indigenous people and nature is often romanticized, reflecting a desire for authenticity that manifests in progressive protests against pipelines as well as in the claims of libertarian ranchers to “ancestral rights” over the land. Drawing on experiences of art as well as activism, Cornum, Chacon, and Simpson will ask how to imagine alternative forms of governance, whether through the speculative narratives of Indigenous Futurism or the protests that halt the world in order to enable the construction of a different one.

Stopping Time is a free in-person event and will be livestreamed.

Triple Canopy – Impure Speech by Katrina Dodson

The invention (and constant reinvention) of Brazilian identity is the story of colliding races, sagas, idioms, rites, and translations—and of Mário de Andrade’s frenetic modernist masterpiece Macunaíma: The Hero with No Character (1928), as Katrina Dodson writes in a sweeping essay, “Impure Speech.”

Andrade’s novel is famous for its shapeshifting, superhuman title character’s ability to capture the complexities of the Brazilian condition and the aspirations and shortcomings of the nation. Macunaíma may have “no character,” but that isn’t so much about “a lack as a multitude of attitudes, cultures, and backgrounds that are constantly morphing and converging in ways that exceed definition,” observes Dodson, whose English translation of Macunaíma will be published next year by New Directions. “Dwelling in the haunted legacy of colonization entangled with slavery and immigration, Andrade’s novel resonates with experiences across the Americas and in postcolonial nations elsewhere, but remains largely unknown beyond Brazil, in part because its deeply Brazilian context and language are fiendishly difficult to translate.”

Visit the link in our profile to read Dodson’s essay, which reflects on the relevance of the novel in the age of right-wing nationalism and to the work of Indigenous artists reckoning with the legacy of colonialism. The essay features paintings by the late Makuxi artist Jaider Esbell, whose work is on view at this year’s Venice Biennale. (In February, we published an excerpt from Dodson’s translation and presented her film series on the legacy of Brazilian modernism with BAM.)

An essay on demigod and country, the Brazilian nation as a mythic antihero born from colliding races, sagas, idioms, rites, and translations.

Triple Canopy – Who Belongs to the Land? by Lou Cornum

“Because of the fundamental challenge posed by the presence of Indigenous people to the coherence of the United States, politicians of all persuasions and milquetoast NGOs carefully moderate our presence within the climate movement. Even those who believe we must make change in order to prevent further ecological collapse tend to subscribe to the settler stories of Indigenous people as symbolic victims rather than movers of history.”

“If the land is not given back, it will soon be the sea.” An essay on camps, blockades, and Indigenous models of remaking the world in the face of climate collapse.

"Brazilian Modernism at 100" coincides with Triple Canopy’s forthcoming publication of an excerpt from Dodson’s new translation of Macunaíma (New Directions, 2023) as part of Unknown States, an issue on the fictions that make up nations and nationalities.
🔸Miasma, Plants, Export Paintings | A Screening with Bo Wang🔸⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Join Triple Canopy and AAA-A this Sunday 1/30 from 1:00-2:30pm EST for virtual screening of recent works by the artist and filmmaker Bo Wang.
⁣⁣
In his films, Wang considers the spatial reorderings and epistemological reclassifications accompanying the West’s imperial incursions—as well as the immense profits garnered, particularly through the o***m trade. With an eye to the reverberations of these encounters in the present, Wang asks how people understand themselves and others through the circulation of goods, the filming of fictions, and the invention of systems to contain and categorize the wares, tales, and peoples of foreign nations.⁣
⁣⁣
Wang will be joined in conversation by Triple Canopy senior editor Matthew Shen Goodman following the screening. Sign up now here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8716418309775/WN_C71Ii2UvT8i99fSLaLNcCw

EAI has relocated!

Please note our new address:

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)
264 Canal Street
New York, NY 10012

We have departing after many happy years in Chelsea and a rewarding residence with Dia Art Foundation – a period that saw the blossoming of our public programs. Over the last two decades, we have hosted an incredible range of events, connecting attentive audiences with artists and their moving-image works. It is the engagement and collective participation nurtured at 535 West 22nd street that we will be bringing with us to our new space.

The pandemic created a strong network of peer organizations in NYC, and one exciting outcome was an opportunity to share a space at 264 Canal with Triple Canopy, the highly-regarded and influential magazine and publishing platform, which has been operating in the space since 2016. The neighborhood immediately situates EAI in a vibrant and dynamic community, both within the arts and the city itself. We are also delighted to partner with a small arts organization that, like EAI, is committed to nurturing exploration and resisting easy classification. Alternative means of distributing and providing access to information is at the core of both of our missions, and we can support each other to that end. There are many rich potentials for programmatic collaborations, drawing from an incredibly diverse and international roster of scholars, writers, designers, and artists.

The beautiful shared space, designed by Leong Leong, is built out to comfortably host classes, events, staff, and visitors. EAI is thrilled to bring its singular collection of over five decades of video and media art to this gathering place. We look forward to welcome you to future events when it feels safe to gather!
