CALL for ENTRIES: Alter Ego

Posted on May 16, 2013May 16, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

FET-A-FETA,
not tête-à-tête

If you were a cheese, what would you be? Wholesome mid-Western cheddar, stinky Limberger? I think I would be a salty and tart goat’s milk feta or maybe a pucker-inducing blue. I frequently contemplate my alter ego in food form. Maybe I need to find a more productive hobby, ha. This next Call wants to know about your alter ego. I love this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries for Alter Ego from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is active and easily researched. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alter Ego

Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. There is a performative aspect to this genre. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, and able to choose how they would like to the world to see them.

The photographer invites judgment and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the “second self” that appears when artist becomes subject.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:
June 20, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Stephen Sheffield, a native of the Boston area, is an alumnus of Cornell University, where he obtained a BFA in painting and photography. He received his MFA in photography from the California College of the Arts, in Oakland/San Francisco, studying under Larry Sultan and Jean Finley.

His photographs, often self-portraits depict both everyday and unusual events, all framed by his unique, and occasionally dark, sense of humor. His masterful storytelling, use of traditional silver, alternative processes, mural printing, and large-scale photo assemblage bring to his work a unique and cinematic mood.

Stephen has exhibited nationally for over 20 years, and has a number of large and small-scale commissions in, Boston, Cambridge and Brooklyn NY. He has worked out of his studio in Boston’s Fort Point for over 18 years. Stephen is represented locally by the Panopticon gallery, and runs the advanced black and white silver photography major at the New England School of Photography in Boston.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: True Colors 2

Posted on May 15, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TOM-A-TO
-ish

It is finally warm enough to be seeing a few normal tomatoes at the market. I have suffered through a winter FULL of day-glow tomatoes that are hard as rocks and completely tasteless. I think out-of-season growers spray them with something to make them have an appealing color, but they just end up disappointing when I get them home. Do not disappoint the purveyors of this Next Call with a lack of color. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Memory

Posted on May 14, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

POPCORN
and peanuts

I eat popcorn almost everyday. My most recent obsession is dousing it with loads of chili powder, but for a long time, it was Parmesan cheese. Popcorn is a memory trigger food for me; my Dad ate it every night with garlic salt with a side of Coke with peanuts (or Tab). It’s a Southern thing. What are your memory triggers? This next Call wants to know…

CALL for ENTRIES: Map It

Posted on May 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

YOU HAVE BEEN
located

I’m amazed by the trivial information I learn from the paper placemats at my favorite Chinese restaurant. I know the ins and outs of the Chinese Calendar. I know I was born in the Year of the Rat. And now that they have incorporated a local map for visitors to the area, I now know where all the trolley stops are located and where I can park for free. Never discount the importance of a map…or a placemat. This next Call is all about the map, not the placemat…

PASS THE SAUCE

Summer in the South means shorts and barbeque. We’re just around the corner from our local BBQ festival, and I cannot wait.

This next Call hails from the South and involves shorts, but it doesn’t call for my saucy indulgence. Take a look…

Field Day is right around the corner for my son. Do you remember Field Day? It was the much-hyped day of outdoor fun and competition we were all supposed to anticipate it with such joy. Not.

TAG…
you’re it

I really have to start putting tags on my frozen food. I spent a couple of hours waiting for chipotle peppers in adobe sauce to thaw for my black been burgers only to find out that it was left over sloppy joe sauce–NOT an acceptable substitute. I even keep a Sharpie® in my kitchen drawer to put labels on Ziploc® bags, but what do I do about all the glass freezer containers? It’s like leftover roulette in my kitchen. This next show is sponsored by the TAG…

A SPOONFUL

Some of the most precious kitchen gadgets I have are handmade–from olive wood cooking spoons to hand turned wooden salad bowls. I love high tech gadgets, but the idea that every spoon in one of a kind gives a sort of reverence to cooking. Yes, I might own 6 spoons, all copies of each other, but each one is unique. I even have a favorite. The crafting of my wooden spoons is not unlike the printmaking featured in this next Call. Investigate…

VALUE MENU

Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option? If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank. Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch. I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check. My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries. The total was about $16.50. Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch? When did this happen? Clearly, I am out of touch with reality. This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light. Don’t miss this…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait

Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.

The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.
