Novel Operations by Jim Fletcher




Triple Canopy show

Summary: A recording of a performance marking the release of <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/store#print-publications" target="_blank"><em>Corrected Slogans: Reading and Writing Conceptualism</em></a>, by actor Jim Fletcher with Lakpa Bhutia, Alex Delinois, Sam Frank, Jordan Lord, and Ariana Reines. The <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/programs/82" target="_blank">performance</a>, which took place at Artists Space Books &amp; Talks on March 29, 2013, draws on various literary formats included in <em>Corrected Slogans</em>—transcripts, footnotes, stanzas, dialogue, indexes, and a lexicon—to interpret and amplify the book’s many textual registers, unraveling dialogues and vocalizing wordplay. <br><br><em>Corrected Slogans</em> is the culmination of the multipart project <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/updates/224" target="_blank"><em>Corrected Slogans (A Publication in Four Acts)</em></a>, which was conceived as Triple Canopy’s contribution to “Postscript: Writing after Conceptual Art,” an exhibition organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The book, which hinges on annotated transcripts of a series of public conversations, represents a collective effort to establish a new critical discourse around conceptual art and poetics.
