Triple Canopy is a magazine based in New York. Since 2007, Triple Canopy has advanced a model for publication that encompasses digital works of art and literature, public conversations, exhibitions, and books. This model hinges on the development of publishing systems that incorporate networked forms of production and circulation. Working closely with artists, writers, technologists, and designers, Triple Canopy produces projects that demand considered reading and viewing. As an online journal Triple Canopy has established itself as an important platform for creative and critical arts writing and a venue for in-depth dialogue about contemporary art. Its distinctive approach enables artists and writers to develop digital projects and print publications that encourage collaborative research and aesthetic risk-taking.

The series comprises six digital contributions that make use of event documentation, video works, scripts, interviews, and essays to investigate the capacity of public speech to win trust, mold opinion, and orchestrate movements. Parts of Speech derives from a public programming series of the same name, which was organized with Public Fiction and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and presented at sites of assembly throughout Chicago from February to May 2019. Featured contributors: the writer and filmmaker Astra Taylor, the novelist and critic Hari Kunzru, the artist Steffani Jemison, the cellist and composer Tomeka Reid, the artist and entrepreneur Christopher Kulendran Thomas, and the comedian and writer Julio Torres.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
