CALL for ENTRIES: Emerging Morpho

Posted on February 26, 2017February 26, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

GREENS are the new black

The greens are emerging. Many of you know that I live in Gatlinburg and wildfires recently swept the area. Firefighters stopped the fire a mere 6′ from my doorstep. The forest surround my home is charred. But all of this unseasonably warm February weather (76°F today) has prompted the most tender of green leaves and unexpected happy daffodil heads to appear. It is just another reminder that Spring is around the corner bringing with it the soft first lettuce leaves. I can’t wait. This next Call is in search of emerging artists; lettuce need not apply. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: A Touch of the Blues

blue
MILK

I’m not really a milk drinker –never have been. I use it in cooking and to make cheese, but by the glass is uncommon. It has in recent years, though, become helpful in the winter months. In the winter, my writing for AAAD & creating my own art (both visual & performing) keeps me indoors most of the time. A lack of sunshine for extended periods of time is often accompanied by a general malaise –the winter blues. Milk isn’t a miracle drug, but the boost of Vitamin D does seem to help. This next Call wants your perspective on blue. Take a look…

CUISINE

I get a lot of questions about living without gluten. When I tell waitstaff at a restaurant, I am met with “I’m sorry” or the sad-trombone-look-of-pity almost every time. Don’t cry for me Argentina. GF eating IS what you make it. It has made my family more adventurous, open and creative when it comes to food. Feminism is the same; it IS what YOU make it–good & bad. This next Call wants to know what YOU make of it. Take a look…

SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

MILK
or not

It’s that time again. What would I be if I had to portray myself as food? This week I choose kefir. I am fascinated. My new gluten-free regimen had increased my dairy intake, and my son has dairy sensitivities. Enter milk kefir. Kefir is simply milk that is fermented at room temperature with kefir grains for about 24 hours. It has many wonderful health benefits, a great flavor and is also usually tolerated well by the lactose intolerant. I’ve been buying it commercially for $4 a quart, but now I’m going to make it myself. Think of it as a self-portrait…

CALL for ENTRIES: Social Media

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

JURY PROCESS: Artists should be cognizant that the exhibition is open to the general public & artwork must be viewable for all ages. Pieces will be judged on artistic quality & execution as well as thematic relevance. Artists should consider the theme, Social Media.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.

I am intrigued by flavor combinations in even the simplest foods. Fresh mozzarella is transformed by a little basil and balsamic vinegar. And benign red potatoes morph into the ultimate comfort food with a little smash and a clove of garlic. Sometimes it isn’t about the right food, but the right combination of foods This next gallery is all about supporting artists that are in the process of emerging, morphing if-you-will, into a new a new version of themselves in the arts community. Maybe you and this gallery will be the perfect combination…

I’m not a huge fan of buffet restaurants. I understand why people hosting large parties prefer buffets, but I choose NOT to go to buffet restaurants because I prefer not to be surrounded by people. And, not all food should be held at the same temp. I don’t like being part of the herd. Luckily, this next Call is about art and not food because it is a bit like a buffet style show. As I mentioned, sometimes it just works. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Archetype Drift

GROCERY

It is snowing like crazy at my house right now, and I promise you that the grocery store is crowded with people shopping as though it is the last food they will ever buy. There is something about the peaceful quilt of snowfall that brings out the animal instinct regarding food. My favorite is when people stock up on microwaveable food that they won’t be able to cook if there is no electricity. What would these folks think if they could see themselves in the mirror? This next call is a “momentary mirror” of sorts. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Archetype Drift

Photography can be a painful mirror. Because of its illustrative tendencies and mnemonic capacities, photography enables us to tell the stories we want to tell with a hammer that is the frame. What happens when the medium gets in the way of the most important narratives?

Photography can be a seductive enabler that, at its worst, allows us to fetishize, beautify, and conduct shallow investigations. Meanwhile, paradigmatic changes in history and culture metastasize alongside new technological ways to make, edit, and distribute images. Are photographers pushing envelopes of meaning and relevance? Are they even keeping pace?

With the ubiquity of images high and low, how does an image-maker create cultural value in 2013? Archetype Drift is a call for new methods of photographic making, editing, and presentation. It is a call for risk taking, chance operations, relabeling, and letting go of the comfortable. It is in itself an experiment and a (momentary) mirror.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All types of photographic and lens-based work will be considered, including video and GIFs.

DEADLINE: February 4, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Mid-February

ENTRY FEE: $25 for 3, $5 ea. add’l up to 6
