CALL for ENTRIES: The View Over Here

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

POTATOES

While traveling recently, I was forced to choose between two “American” restaurants as my only options.  According to these menus, American fare is defined as steak, baked potatoes, boiled vegetables, hamburgers & fries.  I am puzzled by that summation.  How does a country so rich with ethnic variety get distilled down to steak and potatoes?  This next Call wants your ideas on your origin from you perspective; food could be an interesting viewpoint.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Crossing Art (Flushing, NY) for The View Over Here, an international exhibit of international views of individual origin.  $30 entry for up to 10 images, and it is open to ALL MEDIA.  This is a great theme…

DELIVER?
really? wow!

I love eating in a small town because I have learned that it means I can more easily know and appreciate my connections to my food.  However, as I sit and write from a hotel room in a city with a population of almost 7,000 (twice the size of my hometown), I realize that many additional options a little boost in size can afford.  This next Call is looking for your views on the cityy–good OR bad.

HAD A COW

Have you heard about the cannulated cows?  Wow.  Who knew there were cows with port holes?  I was watching the Wisconsin edition of Weird Foods America.  And a professor at UW-Madison Department of Dairy Science was explaining how they put port holes in the side of cows to study the “ruminant’s digestive process” or the chewing of the cud aka “ruminating.”  Into my miscellaneous food trivia file THAT tidbit went; THEN, I received this Call from Ruminate Magazine.  Funny how things work out…

Not every food fad is a good one.  I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away.  But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever.  I am so inspired by how much better the options are out there.  And if you happen across a town that already prides itself on food, well then you’re in for  a food fantasy.  This next Call explores the food to plate issue in a beautiful format.  Take a look…

Jellies, Painting by Megan Elizabeth
Jellies
Painting		The work of MEGAN ELIZABETH reflects an attitude of experimentation, analysis of the elements of accident & a curiosity regarding the beauty created by the transparency & overlapping of ideas. Washes in the paintings, elements of spontaneity & use of collage are fundamental in many of my works. My inspiration comes from waterscapes, sunsets, bright colors in nature & the silhouettes created by extreme light or darkness. Much of my work has been derived from experiences living in Spain, travels in the Caribbean and in Europe & growing up on the east coast of the US.

FAVORITE FOOD: Chocolate

please

Why NOT food?  Yes, it is that time of year again.  I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food.  The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header.  To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me.  But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues.  This next call is equally obsessed with food.  I am in good company…

Feast your Eyes

 
Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus

& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.”  The most common mistake?  A lack of acid.  A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable.  A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable.  This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.”  Great theme…
