CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware 2014

Posted on September 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MOOOzzarella

I’ve been toying with the idea of making cheese. I have had a 30+ year love affair with cheese–cow to sheep to goat. Does anyone think I can convince Jon that we can raise and milk cows, sheep & goats, plus make cheese in addition to the blogging, art, singing & house renovation? It isn’t what we normally do, but we can learn, right? I am going to start with a cow’s milk mozzarella. Wish me luck. This next Call may, or may not, involve media with which YOU are familiar, but I think you should take a look either way…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware 2014. This is a really cool way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

AGAVE
oh my

I am not a naturally-talented baker. I can create savory dishes all day, but the precision required for baking is a trying experience for me. I have been experimenting with a peanut butter cookie recipe for days. It only has 4 ingredients, and I have still made it no less than 12 times to get it exactly right. My family is tolerant of baking experiments, but not every audience is as forgiving. This next Call is specifically looking for your experiments, but don’t send peanut butter cookies. Bribery is frowned upon…

wheat or
WHEAT-OUT YOU

I have been on a personal voyage for the past 9 months, and there is no end in sight. My father died in December, betrayed by his body and love of food that didn’t love him back. My grandmother struggles with Alzheimer’s and the loss of both her memory and her appetite. I have been battling my health and grappling with the loss of my decades-long love affair with wheat. I can’t help but believe that it is all a voyage taking me to some unknown path that will be my future. The voyage has already spurred new art. Let the theme of this next Call take you on your own personal voyage. Don’t miss the opportunity…

Voyages

For many, the spirit of adventure plays an enormous role in their passion for photography.

For Voyages, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of your explorations away from home.

Christy has an MFA in photography as well as background in Women’s Studies and Sociology. She teaches photography at Columbia College Chicago.

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.

TRASH

I’ve gotta figure out how to make composting work in my life.

CRUNCH
please

How is it that I love soy nuts and edamame, but cannot stand tofu? I’ve tried it firm and silken and every other variety. Ick. I just can’t handle the texture. Something about it seems, well, wrong. But, I didn’t used to like ginger, beets or aspargus, and now I eat each of them regularly. Maybe I’ll warm up to tofu. You know Iowa is famous for corn, but they grow lots of soybeans too. This next Call hails from Iowa. Take a look…

I am dreaming of a June picnic in the park. I want crab salad on a beautiful buttery croissant, a bright spinach salad and a large glass of lemonade. But that will have to wait.

stuffing

I love herbs that are not as they seem–lime basil, chocolate mint, and pineapple sage. I’m planting the herbs in my garden this past weekend, and I am dazzled by the choices at my local farmer’s market. Pineapple sage may be my favorite find. Thanksgiving stuffing will never be the same again. This next call appears to be a call for filmmakers, but things are not always what they seem. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware sponsored in part by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc (BAC) and by the participants of MNA filmmaking workshops.

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware

Mono No Aware is an international film event open to any person or group of persons making work that incorporates Super8mm or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. (Expanded Cinema) In previous years, 16mm film was blended with dance performance, Super8 with live spoken word/audience involvement, & multi-projections with live jazz/musical devices. This is not a film festival for film-makers, so much as it is an film event for everyone. They believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing music performed live. For these reasons they encourage live film with live additional audio/visual elements.

ELIGIBILITY: Open internationally. Dancers, Sculptors, Musicians, Theorists, Scientists, Athletes, Visual artists, everyone, AND Film-makers are encouraged to submit.

MEDIA: Entries are only be accepted on Super8 or 16mm film. FILM ONLY. No Digital Video.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 14, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc (BAC) and by the participants of MNA filmmaking workshops, KODAK, ADOBE, DIJIFI, and PAC-LAB. Mono No Aware is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.

A KERNEL
of SURPRISE

It won’t surprise you that I sneak food into the movie theatre. For the record, it isn’t about being cheap–although I am astounded by the price of movie popcorn. It is actually about not being willing to eat the version of popcorn they still serve at my local theatre. Scary glow-in-the-dark, butter laden ickiness. I prefer a little parmesan, asiago and fresh-cracked black pepper on my delicate morsels. How ’bout you? This next Call will undoubtedly give you a reason to check out two different theatres’ popcorn. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Three Minute Picture Show! Get your filmed screened in Portland or San Francisco, and get this… there is a sliding scale entry fee from $5 to $25. More money for popcorn!

CALL for ENTRIES:
