Gold has been used to adorn everything, including food, for years.  At least once per month, some entertainment magazine show features a sundae with gold leaf that costs $1500+, but there are cheaper ways too, like edible spray paints.  But personally, I choose my golden food in a well-roasted Yukon gold potato.  Or maybe a baked chicken.  This next Call wants to see your take on all things golden.  The deadline is a week away…so hurry.

Check out this Call for Entries from Beers Lambert (London) for the Gold exhibit.  There is no entry fee, and many of you living stateside probably still need an international show on your resume.  Take a look…

Read the Full Call from Beers Lambert! CALL for ENTRIES:  Gold

 

Gold remains an enigma within the history of art and culture, and while much has been analyzed regarding its use, existence, and symbolism in art and culture, any historical discourse regarding the use of gold in art history has remained relatively stagnant in contemporary culture. Still, artists from the Byzantine period to Michelangelo and even Damien Hirst have made countless works with gold as the sole source, means, and directive of the work. Today, however, the use of gold in modern or contemporary art (while prevalent) is often used cheekily, consciously referencing the medium’s historical and overwrought allegorical signifiers, or self-awarely pointing out the kitsch connoted therein.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All media adopts gold as its raison-d’être will be considered, including: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation, video, performance, new-media and other traditional and non-traditional media.

DEADLINE:  December 3, 2012

NOTIFICATION:  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the site in throughout December and January 2013, when results will be posted online. Only successful applicants will be contacted by email.

ENTRY FEE:  None

Thanksgiving marks the end of a turkey-free holiday streak at my house. Until now, I haven’t had part in cooking a turkey in twenty-eight years.  No joking.  It isn’t that I dislike turkey so much as I believe that there are far better things to eat.  My mother prefers maple-glazed ham; I like curry and honey glazed duck.  But, my kid wanted turkey.  The kid wins this time; the end of an era.  This next Call is all about the end.  This deadline is right around the corner…

Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota?  I could use some wild berries about now.  My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries.  This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 16th Woman Made

My son is contemplating going to school to be a pastry chef.  I can’t even allow myself to think that it might really happen; he’s only 13.  But the most interesting part of this particular career conversation (there have been hundreds) was that he was shocked and relieved to find out that it was OKAY for him to be a boy and want to cook.  What?  His father has cooked 75% of the meals he has ever eaten.  How could he think there would be a gender issue?  Bizarre.  This next Call does have a bit of a gender issue to be considered.  Investigate…

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box.  However, there are definitely seven-sided foods.  Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school.  Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides.  We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends.  They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped.  It still causes me physical pain to even think about them.  But they were beautiful.  Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call.  Take a look…

My husband considers me nauseatingly optimistic.  I always believe the soufflé is going to rise.  I just assume that my potato leek soup will be the best ever made.  I just assume the roast won’t be overcooked even though I forgot and left it in too long.  I’m just THAT person.  I choose to approach life, and my kitchen, with a smile.  It doesn’t always work out in my favor, but I’m okay with that too. This next Call is all about the SMILE.  Happy reading…

Have a Good Time by Juror Susan A BarnettCALL for ENTRIES:
Smile

“smile:  express friendliness, chuckle, roar, toothsome, happy, ridiculous, ducks, giggle, shocked, proud, snort, grin, candy, anxious, love, circus, wedding, crow, laugh, guffaw, charades, express tenderness, beer, tickle, smirk, babies, Elvis, feet, snicker, jubilate, cackle, fishing, ice cream.

“The word “smile” originates from the Middle English word “smilen”, which was probably from an early Scandinavian dialect, which later migrated to Jamaica where it evolved into the phrase, “we be smilen.”  Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer had two of the great smiles of all times.  I attended a Bob Marley concert years ago and everyone was smiling.  It gave me the same feeling I had watching my brother watch my nephew walk for the first time or watching my Dad watching Rodney Dangerfield or seeing the expressions of the loved ones of returning soldiers.  I remember once when my friend’s brother, during the Disco era, got a plaid leisure suit  — we were all smiling.  Smiling is universal and can be triggered by anything, especially photographs.” — from the A. Smith Gallery website.

The food landscape in the Smoky Mountains is a little different than anywhere else I have live.  Where I live, you can get a phenomenal French meal & bar food within a mile of each other.  And my daily commute takes me past chickens, lamb and cows, raised for food, in the front yard of a fairly typical suburban home.  Odd, but endearing.  This next call is about a different landscape entirely.  Take a look…
