Paper Tiger Exhibition Opening
Celebrating 30 Years of Collective Media Art, Activism and Analysis
Roarrrr... It's 30 years since the first "reading" of the New York Times by Herbert Schiller in October 28, 1981, the initial live transmission of Paper Tiger Television. Miraculously the ever-renewing collective is now celebrating their roaring history with an exhibition, a conference and series of events. Last spring, the many tapes, backdrops, photos, funding proposals, and meeting notes of the vast Tiger archive were donated to the Fales Library, a special collection within Bobst Library at NYU (always open to the public without an NYU pass!). To celebrate this acquisition, Fales is hosting an exhibition from February 3 (Save the date!) until May 4, 2012 in their third floor gallery. LINK

Print and Demand #2
On November 7, [2010] Triple Canopy presented Print & Demand #2, the second in an ongoing series of conversations exploring how print culture is being changed by the manifold forms of online publication and how public spaces are being constituted around those forms. The discussion, which took place at The NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, included James Goggin, Jiminie Ha, and Rob Giampietro, and was moderated by Triple Canopy creative director Caleb Waldorf. It focused on the role played by design in shaping digital forms of publication: How are certain tropes of print publication—and the reading and viewing experiences they have engendered—being translated for new media (while others are being jettisoned entirely)? How has the shift from graphic design to user design, with its focus on interaction and interface, changed the way publications function? LINK
