A call for work that responds to Gertrude Stein's assertion: "I am I because my little dog knows me." Who is it whom your little (or big) dog knows? How is your sense of (your) self mediated by or through your relationship with your dog? Does this self exist outside of the relationship? How do you know what your dog knows? Works exploring these issues with other species of companion animals are also eligible. Works will be part of the exhibition "Standing Heat" at The Front in New Orleans, November 13- December 5, 2010. Two-dimensional work in any media, 8 1/2 by 11 inches or smaller, unframed is acceptable.
