MediaCommons yesterday unveiled The New Everyday, an experiment in "middle-state publishing" being undertaken as part of a two-year project undertaken by the New York Visual Culture Working Group, housed at NYU and funded by its Humanities Initiative. The New Everyday is working, as its editor, Nick Mirzoeff has noted, to explore the location of the everyday "in the era of globalization, migration, outsourcing and global media," asking "what work is done by and as the everyday, where and by whom?"
The project has launched with a cluster edited by Nicholas Mirzoeff considering the murder of Jorge Steven López Mercado. The pieces that form this cluster are open for discussion, and are intended to be seen, both collectively and individually, as remaining somewhat "in process." We hope that you'll join the discussion within this cluster, and that you'll consider curating a future cluster as well.
