Call for Submissions to Freerange Vol 6: The Untitled Issue. [30.08.2012]

freerange

(Untitled) is the sixth of our twelve Freerange Journals that will be produced, we’ve decided this issue will have no words, because words can be remarkably impotent:

“If I really knew how to write,I could write something that someone would read and it would kill them.” William Burroughs.

Marking the moment just before halfway in its finite run, the Untitled issue is a way for all Free Rangers around the world to assemble a collective image through one piraty eye: a drawn, photographed, etched, painted, scribbled, scrawled and scratched world-view that expresses our fixed gaze on global issues of design, politics, art, and life for an urbanized humanity, which is what we set out to do.

Submissions are due September 7th. If you’re keen to submit, or have some thoughts, check out the finer print here
