Launch Event for: Triple Slash: ///, the True, Multimedia Account of Two Queer Artists’ Cross-Genre Collaboration

Triple Slash: /// is a multimedia project by American poet, Cody Laplante, and Canadian visual artist, Nigel Nolan. The project’s free online wide-release is set for Pride Weekend, on Friday, June 28, 2024. Triple Slash: /// launch events will feature readings and projections exhibiting the piece’s interactive nature at Studio IDFK,190 McCaul St in Toronto, as well as with Wrong Brain at The Dance Hall, Kittery, 7 Walker Street in Kittery

Readers meet Cody and Nigel mid-conversation, like jumping onto an already moving train, then scroll forward in the piece and backwards in time to where they met. The true-life account of two queer artists’ cross-genre collaboration starts in Buenos Aires and spans across years and nations.

Strong themes emerge as Cody and Nigel find common ground between addiction and anorexia, sex and fear, romance and antipathy. Cody uses, shares too much, and steps back. Nigel provokes, then captures the fallout with fidelity. They skirt the edges of heartbreak as they grip onto an intimacy only possible in the 21st century.
