OPEN CALL ‘FAUNA’
JOÃO BENTO
‘A Dogs’ Home is His Castle’
“French-kissing my dog melts my troubles away
As if dog spell backwards has something to say
What works for me will work for you
Get rid of the zanax and prozac too.
Why pay the therapist all that dough?
When it’s the magical doggies we really owe.”(Poem excerpt from ‘I French Kiss my Dog’ by Gail Glassman in ‘Urban Dog’, 2004)
‘FAUNA’ is a new call open to any suggestions on photographic series related to animals. We will be posting the best submissions on Urbanautica and related channels. Deadline is February 18th. One project selected from among those submitted will be published and printed on the 4th issue 4 of “Stand Quarterly” magazine together with the works of Alec Soth, Céline Clanet, Vincent Fournier and Trine Søndergaard. Stand is an advertisement-free photographic journal showcasing the work and thoughts of various contemporary photographers from all areas of the world. Submissions of the series are welcome at info@urbanautica.com or directly on our facebook page. Steve Bisson curator and art director of Urbanautica will also be selecting works for future exhibitions. The selection is made on series (full project). Yet we accept single images to share with our readers here on facebook… Thank you all and best wishes!!!
