The Publication Intensive is a free two-week program in the history and contemporary practice of publication. Each year they invite applicants who are in the early stages of their careers (or enrolled in graduate programs) and have backgrounds in areas such as writing, art, literature, art history, technology, and design. During the Publication Intensive, Triple Canopy editors and collaborators lead discussions and workshops with participants, who research, analyze, and develop projects that hinge on new technologies but also mine the history of print culture and artistic practice.
The Publication Intensive addresses such questions as: How have artists, writers, and technologists used publications as vehicles for material experimentation, political expression, and the cultivation of audiences? What defines a publication today, and how is that definition complicated by shifts in labor conditions, technologies, and readerships? How does publication drive efforts to organize people and test out new ideas?
The program includes conversations led by artists, writers, and designers as well as visits to studios, archives, and cultural institutions.
