Project areas

Research Work
Research Work was established to facilitate the creation of research projects that are produced outside academia, for a general audience; employ Internet-specific methods of presentation; and serve a public best reached by making the work available for free online.

Internet as Material
Internet as Material was established to support emerging and mid-career artists who have never before made work specifically for the Web in the production of an online project. These projects further Triple Canopy's mission by utilizing the Internet—which is too often understood as a channel for the transfer of information—as a medium for the development of artworks that actively engage readers.

Thinking Through Images
Thinking Through Images was established to foster conversations about images and videos of cultural, political, and social relevance, between artists, writers, researchers, and other cultural practitioners working in different fields. The program aims to facilitate close readings of popular media and fine art—from nineteenth-century paintings to Internet memes to documentation of current events—that consider these cultural products in a common context.

New Media Reporting Project
The New Media Reporting Project was established to provide journalists an outlet for—and provide them with the training and technical resources and expertise to realize—in-depth, critical reports executed in multiple media, with the goal of providing an immersive experience of the stories and subjects that shape our age.

New Programming
New Programming was established to support the development of exhibitions, panel discussions, performances, film screenings, and other public events that examine the intersection of culture, politics, and technology.

ABOUT
Triple Canopy works collectively with writers, artists, researchers and other collaborators on projects that deal critically with culture and politics, and the ways people engage them, both online and in the world at large. These investigations are realized in an online magazine as well as in public programs and print publications encompassing various fields and locales. We aim to present work and advance ideas informed by a multitude of disciplines and perspectives, and to disseminate them among a broad and diverse audience. Triple Canopy, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, was founded in late 2007; our first issue was published on March 17, 2008.

Artist in Residence, Nexus Art Cafe, Manchester

Call for proposals  - Artist in Residence, Nexus Art Cafe

Nexus is a creative platform for new and emerging artistic talent of all practices to come to and join a community rich in new ideas, dialogue and personal development.

At Nexus we believe that quality artwork and community engagement and participation do not preclude one another. We don't want our exhibitors to feel isolated, like they're putting their work up into a vacuum where it may or may not be appreciated. We feel that by directly engaging with the community of customers, staff and volunteers here through creative practice, events, talks and a good old fashioned party, artists and public alike can benefit and learn a lot more from the artwork than they would if experiencing it in isolation from one another.

The benefits we offer to the public are a more accessible, inclusive and playful approach to creativity, encouraging non-artists to enjoy and benefit from creativity in their everyday lives.

As part of our commitment to the development of these ideals, we are establishing an artist in residency programme. We want to use the residency as one way of exploring an ongoing art/community dialogue. Rather than our artists being shut away engaged in some hidden, mystical creative process, we want them to integrate themselves into Nexus life as much as possible/practicable. The studio space is provided free of charge on the understanding that artists actively contribute towards our shared vision for the café and it's role as a community arts space.

Residencies will be for one month initially, extending to a maximum of three months reviewable on a month by month basis.

The studio will be available from 10am to 6.45 pm each day and residents will have their own key (Nexus staff will also keep a key and residents should be aware that staff will access the space if necessary).

We encourage residents to view the space as their own, and residents may furnish/decorate the room as they wish, providing all such alterations to the space are temporary and fully removable. You are responsible for leaving the space as found (or better!).

We ask that respect be shown to Central Hall and Nexus staff and customers and that residents keep in mind that we are a busy café frequented by a diverse range of people and that activities undertaken as part of the residency do not interfere with the business side of the café, and do not cause unnecessary offence to the public.

We strongly encourage an 'open door' policy and ask that residents are welcoming and open to dialogue with other community members and users of the space (please see and fill out attached form where there is space for residents to outline their proposals for any community workshops, projects, engagement/outreach work. This document will form part of the residency 'contract' that will be reviewed after the first month.
 

The small print.

Gambling, the consumption of alcohol and smoking is not permitted anywhere on the premises due to building restrictions.
We accept no responsibility for the personal security of room users, or for any loss of, or damage to residents personal possessions in what is a public building.
Any damage caused by residents to the fabric or furniture of the building, and any breakages, must be paid in full.
We accept no responsibility for accidents to residents arising from use of equipment on the premises, or by failure to use equipment properly, or by inappropriate people.
Residents are asked to make themselves familiar with the procedure in case there is a fire.
