FOODIE ME
and you
I often wonder if my legacy will be converting picky eaters to Brussels sprouts eating foodies. It won’t be art; I mean, my art has its place in the history of xerography, and I am proud of my contribution to my arts community here at ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. But, I think my love of food will be the legacy I leave behind…for better or for worse. The Legacy Gallery will jury this next Call. Take a chance…

LATE BLOOMER
I usually love Spring, but I am antsy for Summer already. I suspect it is because this Spring has been anything but war. As a result, the farmer’s market is low on early harvested goods. Sad. Now I’m just ready to fast forward to summer. I can taste the garlic and goat cheese stuffed squash flowers as I type. Yum. The deadline for this next Call is right around the corner, and they want to see the blooms of which YOU dream. A beautiful theme…

Romance us with your interpretations of this tenuous beauty, these arrangements of organic sensuality.

I WONDER
if just maybe
The best cooks, and chefs for that matter, that I know are women. Men dominate the professional culinary world, and when I did my short stint in cooking school, all but 2 of my classmates are male. Maybe the answer is that women are smart enough not to want to spend 8 to 10 hours a day, 6 days a week in a hot kitchen. Many of spend enough time there as it is. Hmm. This next Call REQUIRES that you be a woman to participate. So there…

FET-A-FETA,
not tête-à-tête
If you were a cheese, what would you be? Wholesome mid-Western cheddar, stinky Limberger? I think I would be a salty and tart goat’s milk feta or maybe a pucker-inducing blue. I frequently contemplate my alter ego in food form. Maybe I need to find a more productive hobby, ha. This next Call wants to know about your alter ego. I love this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alter Ego
Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. There is a performative aspect to this genre. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, and able to choose how they would like to the world to see them.
The photographer invites judgment and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the “second self” that appears when artist becomes subject.
ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists
MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.
DEADLINE:

JUROR: Stephen Sheffield, a native of the Boston area, is an alumnus of Cornell University, where he obtained a BFA in painting and photography. He received his MFA in photography from the California College of the Arts, in Oakland/San Francisco, studying under Larry Sultan and Jean Finley.
His photographs, often self-portraits depict both everyday and unusual events, all framed by his unique, and occasionally dark, sense of humor. His masterful storytelling, use of traditional silver, alternative processes, mural printing, and large-scale photo assemblage bring to his work a unique and cinematic mood.
Stephen has exhibited nationally for over 20 years, and has a number of large and small-scale commissions in, Boston, Cambridge and Brooklyn NY. He has worked out of his studio in Boston’s Fort Point for over 18 years. Stephen is represented locally by the Panopticon gallery, and runs the advanced black and white silver photography major at the New England School of Photography in Boston.
AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

TOM-A-TO
-ish
It is finally warm enough to be seeing a few normal tomatoes at the market. I have suffered through a winter FULL of day-glow tomatoes that are hard as rocks and completely tasteless. I think out-of-season growers spray them with something to make them have an appealing color, but they just end up disappointing when I get them home. Do not disappoint the purveyors of this Next Call with a lack of color. Investigate…

POPCORN
and peanuts
I eat popcorn almost everyday. My most recent obsession is dousing it with loads of chili powder, but for a long time, it was Parmesan cheese. Popcorn is a memory trigger food for me; my Dad ate it every night with garlic salt with a side of Coke with peanuts (or Tab). It’s a Southern thing. What are your memory triggers? This next Call wants to know…

YOU HAVE BEEN
located
I’m amazed by the trivial information I learn from the paper placemats at my favorite Chinese restaurant. I know the ins and outs of the Chinese Calendar. I know I was born in the Year of the Rat. And now that they have incorporated a local map for visitors to the area, I now know where all the trolley stops are located and where I can park for free. Never discount the importance of a map…or a placemat. This next Call is all about the map, not the placemat…
