BUTTERCREAM

I am not a big fan of birthday cake.  But honestly, I am not a big fan of birthdays either for all the standard reasons of vanity and mortality.  I suspect my lack of enthusiasm for the cake is tainted by the purpose behind the celebration.  My 30th birthday was ugly, but I have high hopes for my 40th.  I’ll let you know how it goes when it gets here.  In the meantime, share the exhilaration and pain, sentimentality and hope of your birthday experiences with this next call.  You’re gonna have the birthday anyway, you might as well make art…

Check out this Call for Entries for Bon Appétit from SPACE WOMb (Long Island City, New York).  This is a group show at a gallery located around the corner from the MoMA PS1 in NY.  There is no fee to enter, but there is a fee to exhibit, if chosen…

*Editor’s Note:  This Call does not currently appear on the SpaceWomb.com website; therefore, I have published all of the information I received from the gallery.  If you need additional details, please email the gallery. While doing a little research, I found a soft spot for this gallery when I read the artist statment on a Call for Curators.
