Dear Urbanautica readers,
at the end of last year we launched the open call ‘Bye Bye 2012’ to thank you all for the special support throughout the year. In few days, between Christmas and New Year, we received hundreds of images. An incredible panorama of contemporary photography. Artists and photographers of all levels and from around the world took part. The call has traveled on facebook with an average of over 15,000 views a week. Thousands of comments and likes!
We decided to make a online book out of it which will gather the images that we and you have enjoyed the most. A reminder of this important moment for global sharing.
At Urbanautica we believe that we can improve the world through the sharing of words and images that have a significant human meaning. This is why we have been invited to curate the exhibition for the opening of The Salt Yard, the new indipendent space for photography in Hong Kong (next week January 18). During this event we will launch a new Open Call dedicated to the issue of ‘Humans’!Stay tuned and Thank you for helping us to make a better cultural world!
Steve Bisson (founder of Urbanautica)
