CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

Enter the Featured Artist Contest today!COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach.  But as my journey toward a simpler life continues.  I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes.  I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time.  But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder.  I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day.  But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Contemporary Portraiture

NAAN
for me,
thanks

How is it possible that images of deities continue to show up in food?  Moreover, how is it possible that it still makes the news?  If you were a deity, would “show up on a piece of naan” be on the top of your to-do list?  If you were all powerful, would your idea of contemporary portraiture be Indian bread?  I didn’t think so. it doesn’t matter who the deity is.  Just no. For portraiture, let’s all stick with a Call like this next one.  On the wall, not on your plate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Contemporary Portraiture

 

Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Robin Rice’s mission is simple: to document the world around her in a cinematic way. Whether capturing the innate beauty of tucked-away South American landscapes or the reflective moments of unknowing subjects, her photographs are always candid. As a photographer, Robin has an earthy and bohemian way of portraying people and situations that is reflective of the way she lives life.

When she is not searching for inspiration from local people and places around the world, she runs The Robin Rice Gallery in New York City. As an artist who feels lucky to be able to parlay her love of the photographic medium into a career, she treats her gallery like a family rather than a business and is dedicated to supporting the work of established and local artists.

I make a trip to the grocery store everyday.  It isn’t my attempt to be more European or even an effort to buy as fresh as possible.  No, something just comes up empty, out or missing every single day.  It drives me crazy, but I should be grateful.  Have you heard of food deserts?  Imagine driving 1 1/2 to get to the closest grocery store.  I’m going to stop whining, and you take a look at this next call for landscape photography–deserts, not food deserts, included…

For Mainland, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that examine the wide variety in climate, topography, and development on our planet.

Botanicals

 

The natural world has fascinated photographers since the invention of the medium. Botanicals are props in portraiture, examined in landscapes, and rendered as patterns in décor and apparel.

Preserving the ephemeral quality of plant-life as a still image allows viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of natural forms, but it also allows artists to re-purpose nature for our own expressive ends. Whether in bloom or decay, edible or admirable, mammoth or miniscule, all interpretations of flora are welcome for The Kiernan Gallery’s exhibition, Botanicals.

Eating in the car is dangerous.  Don’t get me wrong; I’ve done my share of car consumption.  The back floorboard of my car looks like a fast food trash can sometimes.  But on my way home yesterday, I watched a young woman t-bone a truck with her compact car while munching on a burger.  Her view seemed blocked by the wax paper wrapper.  I’m just saying, “Be careful out there.”   This next Call is another reason to keep your eyes on the street.  Great show…

Eye on the Street

 

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, providing context that gives it richness and meaning greater than the sum of its parts. The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its second annual portfolio showcase, juried by renowned photography critic Vicki Goldberg.

Goldberg has received numerous awards for writing, including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, the Royal Society’s Dudley Johnston Award, and the Long Chen Cup (China).  Ms. Goldberg, who has taught courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Institute of Boston, lectures internationally and writes on photography for various magazines.

In Transit

 

Whether by road, sea, rail, air, or other means, vehicles are both essential and ubiquitous in our daily lives. Photographers have documented transportation history, as NASA launched rockets, Ford assembled cars, and the Wright brothers took flight. As modes of transportation, photographers observe the intersections of cultures on public transit and the isolation of solitary commuters on the highway. Modes of transit spawn communities, and photographers have documented biker gangs and houseboats.

Journeys are photographed out of windows of speeding vehicles; blurred, voyeuristic, and fleeting. The vehicles themselves are cultural icons and status symbols: sailboats, muscle cars, Harley-Davidsons, and fixed gear bicycles. For In Transit, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images from and of the vehicles that move us.
