Call for Submissions|
Deadline Jan. 1st, 2005
FO A RM magazine #4 (topography)
By gathering together a variety of perspectives, methods and articulations, from the extravagant to the pedestrian (and those in between), we hope to discover the outline of a resonant subject.  Our interests include (but are not limited to) writings on sound, film, performance and culture.

“Topography” treats the movement over, through or across a landscape and an act of documenting, utilizing or noticing an interaction with that landscape.  It concerns a mapping of the points between self and space - traversing and/or transforming natural and urban environments.

We especially encourage cross-genre work:  research, essays, maps, scores, documentation, investigative poetics, etc. Please send electronic copies (Word, Photoshop or Quark compatible) to:  fo_a_rm@yahoo.com or hard copies to Bethany Wright, 122 Gates Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11238
