BEET it
I spent YEARS disguising food both visually and by name. Spinach quiche spent years as “egg pie.” I’ve hidden zucchini in spaghetti sauce, and carrots, onion and celery in virtually everything. I am pleased that I can now look at my kid and say, “Yes, those are beets.” But, the years of trickery served a purpose; he’ll give anything a try now that his palate has been trained to prove his eyes wrong. This next Call is all about tricking the eye. Great theme…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Trick of the Eye. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…
*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!
CALL for ENTRIES:
Trick of the Eye
Magic that is channeled
in a single shot,
a recalibration of reality,
be the clever and cunning
illusionist behind the lens.
Optical illusions conjured by a variance of processes; from physically meticulous studio setups, to spontaneously captured works of luck, and ones hugely composed in post. Manipulate our perceptions with flourish. Deal with foreshortening, vanishing points, sandwiching negatives or the unique mash up of subjects. Employ sleight of hand use of color and composition that begs us to ask the question,”How ever did they do that?”
ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.
