Awards
Art Journal Award
Established in 2000, the Art Journal Award is presented to the author of the most distinguished contribution—article, interview, conversation, portfolio, review, or any other text or visual project—published in Art Journal during the previous calendar year (2012 for the 2013 award).
2012 Winner
An article by Triple Canopy, called “The Binder and the Server” and published in the Winter 2011 issue, has won the 2012 Art Journal Award. Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities, and Colby Chamberlain is a senior editor there. He is also a Jacob K. Javits Fellow in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University in New York. The essay, the outcome of several group discussions among Triple Canopy editors, was written primarily by Chamberlain.
Past Winners
The Art Journal Award was first presented in 2001 to Miwon Kwon for her article “The Wrong Place,” originally written to accompany an exhibition at the Ottawa Art Gallery. In addition to numerous art historians, the award has also been given to a curator (Nato Thompson, 2005) and an artist (Simon Leung, 2008).
