Triple Canopy just released Issue 7 online, and it's a digital page-turner. More than a online magazine, Triple Canopy works with writers, artists, researchers and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage them. And the site contains slick visual and written narrations (or exhibits) of all these doings. Coming soon, among many other things, is an interactive landscape of actual "Dubai Dream Houses," and the inside scoop from China's subterranean development expert. But Triple Canopy also executes print publications and public programs. For example, this week for you East Coasters they, along with Light Industry, present:
East Coast premiere of Wang Bing's Crude Oil
a fourteen-hour film installation tracking a fourteen-hour workday of crude-oil extraction in northwest China.
The film will be on view from November 4 to 8. running 5 times in its entirety per day from 9am til 11pm.
Accompanying Crude Oil in an adjacent room will be a film program by Matthew Coolidge of the Center for Land Use Interpretation and Lucy Raven (7:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 4; reception to follow), as well as the American premiere of Wang Bing's Coal Money (4 p.m., Saturday, November 7; discussion to follow with NYU professors Rebecca Karl and Zhen Zhang) and a screening of Wang's nine-hour West of the Tracks (12 p.m., Sunday, November 8). A curated DVD library of related films will be available for viewing throughout the week. For more information and a full press release, click HERE.
